Focusing on methods of navigation in nature,
this installation combines recycled materials, fabrics, painting, sculpture,
video, live plants and printmaking to create a strange mapped and staged situation. This
work examines organized outdoor activities, exploring relationships people have
with the natural environment, and the trappings of preparation for these
relationships. I am interested in the thin membranes of safety that lie between
the natural world and organized modern life. You are invited to experience this
version of nature, re-creations of natural environments and recreational
activities, from the safety of Compton-Goethals Gallery.
