So you're pouring something, and you're tilting the pan as you're pouring it, making it steeper and steeper. And then by shifting it on the wall, I'm getting the eclipse, the lunar eclipse. But unlike a landscape painting from the 19th century, it's a notion of landscape that's been somewhat enhanced and reformed by our new ways of looking at the earth, whether it's by satellite images, aerial photographs, or true topographic cuts through the earth where you can see sections that go through oceans as well as earth. There was a sculpture I was doing for the Rockefeller Foundation which has as its centerpiece a water table, which is naturally cut through the earth. Fundamentally, I have an incredible love and respect for the environment.
People never look below the ocean.
We have a bad habit of pretending that if we don't see it, it's not there. Kind of like dumping into the oceans. Well, it's much more mountainous and much more complex under the ocean. We think we can just dump and dump and dump. And so maybe I'm trying to point out some aspects of our planet in this work.
