Two of my pieces are included in the “Organic Destruction” exhibit at the Creative Alliance in Baltimore from today till May 29.
It’s a compelling title — “Organic Destruction” — playing off human interaction with Nature: Both how human activity seems to destroy much of Nature, how Nature destroys human creation — and what interplay there may be between the two.
The pieces were chosen by curator Thomas James and after a time — and doing more work on the second — the wisdom of the choices became apparent to me. They are in a sense, related. Similar in size, they are both uniformly applied acrylic spray layerings. "Outside In" is done on one of the most ethereal natural substances, snow; while "Purpose" is done on a hard, highly "artificial" object.
