GRADUAL DESTRUCTION
Gradual Destruction is a response to the environmental changes currently happening on the coast of California. I use direct experience and observations in my work as examples of the ephemeral natural world while intersecting the use of technology as a tool that supports my ideas. The use of a microscope in my work is an apparatus like a camera that allows for microscopic observations of our planet that may otherwise be invisible to the naked eye. How can the tools of science enhance our ability as artists to look closer while considering our relationship to the invisible or unrecognized. My interest in Geology is rooted in its language that gives deffiniton and identity to the landscapes we live and pass through. What can Geology teach us about the earths history and how can the eons of geological time help us reconsider our role in this history? Can these geologic stories of transformation connect us to our own relationship with the land?
Gradual Destruction is made up of 256 feet of screen printed wallpaper, 100 sheets of handmade sand paper and 3 video projections. The projections were filmed through a drone, microscope and GoPro body camera.
