“CALL IT ANYTHING (LIKE CHAOS) “ was created
with the idea of being viewed as a sampled aspect of a chaotic storm;
stationary, but trembling as if it were alive. The flying roots appear as if
ripped out of the earth and it’s intricacies and the synaptic skin of the root
system can be inspected by the viewer.
This was inspired by Hurricane Sandy and the
chaos it created. My hopes
were to show the viewer a frozen moment in time and perhaps tap into the
zeitgeist of the collective human experience as we see incomprehensible events
happening at a speed faster than what we can process and can be viewed as a
removed observer after the event has happened.
The viewer sees the root systems, the
connective tissue and the terrestrial mooring to the earth flying topsy-turvy
through the air throwing our whole vision of what is solid and normal into
chaos. Kinetic creatures fly above
and around the air-borne roots as if cast out of their habitat, or perhaps
escaping the storm, signifying life’s resilience and perseverance in the most
adverse conditions.
