Artist's
Statement
I was romanced by art from an early age, but the natural sciences presented
tough competition for my choice of vocation. I eventually found myself
making art by utilizing reptiles, amphibians, birds and mammals that
Iıd collected and processed. Recently, I have fallen into using earth
as my medium; sand, loam, dirt, clay, volcanic material. The colors,
textures and patterns that emerge in my work are plagiarized from the
natural world. Our attachment to the ground we stand on is a universal
story, one that repeats itself in every place and in every culture.
Jacquetta Hawkes, an early 20th-century writer, wrote, "The history
of the Earthıs crust has a rhythm. If the movement could be speeded
up we should see a rise and fall as though breathing". We are of the
Earth and separate from it only by illusion, yet we humans seem to somehow
isolate ourselves from the rest of life. The understanding that we exist
as overlapping environments has been lost, and instead of recognizing
ourselves as part of the landscape, we stand apart and view the world
around us as "other". In a culture that discourages real solitude, art
is quiet. When making art, with earth as my medium, I can sometimes
sense the "rise and fall" Hawkes described. This body of work, Physical
Map of the Earth, explores the unity of past and present, nature and
humanity.
