The bathtub has no water in it, unlike some of the other works like Brief River or Short River included in the DeLeon White Gallery show last summer. The emphasis is on tactile reality as opposed to conceived reality. I had wrenches with little trees coming out of the wall. Some were rusty, others covered with matter. Rust and growth are both oxygen-related processes.
Life is a kind of rust on the earth s surface.
Quantum Seeds, 1996. Steel, water, wood, aluminum, motors, mechanical and electronic parts, and maple seeds, 73.7 x 15.2 x 25.4cm. My view boxes exhibited this past summer in Toronto were examples of fabricated alien landscapes, volcanoes, desert scenes. I create natural landscapes and photograph them stereoscopically. It actually looks more real than landscape itself.
