With installations I can indulge my penchant for narrative, and combine my interests in paleogeology, linguistics, the environment and the human condition. Why are we how we are, and how do we communicate with each other? How can we understand Time? These are the questions that I ask myself when I walk out into the landscape, and every time I reach for a book or look at art to see what someone else has to say about it.
Sediments
The sediments installations are a project-in-process in which I am developing my understanding of paleogeology and the growing awareness we all have of our responsibilities as humans on a planet that as it cools, is growing dangerously warmer. The first sediments piece was two-dimensional, following the form of earlier installations like Bog Dig and Geologics. As my understanding of the potential for the sediments installations has grown in dimensionality, so too have the installations. Each of the projects shown here is designed as a set piece with narrative components targeting human aspirations and foibles. |
