A recurring preoccupation of Johnson's is the complex sentimental relationships people form with objects – how objects can become surrogates for lost human relationships or can come to embody unattainable dreams, memories of distant times and, as such, in their presence can become embodiments of absence itself.
In response to these interests she mines the personal belongings of those close to her for source material – things cherished and things recently discarded, this time fabric offcuts from a tailor shop leftover after the cutting of a garment – and attempts to translate in equal measures the physical and psychological form of the object, while at the same time celebrating the impossibility of the translation of personal perception.
