nd of Life is an installation I did in my dear friend Mary’s gallery—Parlour Room Projects—in Ypsilanti, MI in November and December. The gallery is in Mary’s apartment and consists of two doors that open to a blank wall. It ended up being the perfect place for a little mini gallery. I had so much fun creating and installing this piece and I’m really looking forward to doing more work in this vein. I have a lot of ideas, just not a lot of time lately. I’m trying to clear out my Friday schedule to be my studio time in order to produce more work and apply to more shows.
This is my artist statement from the show: “End of Life” is a term used to describe a product that has been fully consumed or used up. Plastic mesh discarded from the flower industry has been transformed into organic shapes—heavy with symbolism but ethereal in their lightness—as a way to question our relationship with the natural and spiritual worlds, as well as the manufactured quality of these worlds. Blurring the lines between natural and synthetic, this piece is a meditation on dichotomy and the space between two opposing absolutes.
