These are my newest works that I have been working on the past week or so.
“I
imagine each planted life as a surrogate for a human form. I am interested in the intimacy and fragility
that the anthropomorphic pile of seed and dirt create. Placing it in the visual landscape is a way
for me to engage in a conversation about the life and the temporary
environments we create, occupy, and share with other living things.
I imagine each discarded
blanket as a specific memory of a part of life that was lived through these
objects. It is my opinion that entropy
explains the state of the present human life.
It is while we are engaged in living that we are fighting that state of
decay and attempting to control our own conditions. I want to highlight the significance and
extent of the time, protection, and attention that must be spent in order for
things to grow despite the aspect of chance and chaos. These fundamental
inconsistencies in the transformation of a home fascinate me and continue to
fuel my curiosity to seek the patience involved to find potential beauty in the
decay and growth of the future.”
