“Scarp” shown at the Halsey Institute for Contemporary Art in Charleston, South Carolina, United States
This installation project encapsulates North America’s consumer culture which leads to overcapacity landfill sites.
I grew up in the inner city of Winnipeg but spent summers in rural Manitoba so I try to combine my street sensibility with prairie landscape esthetics and, as in reality; the meeting is not always graceful. This installation uses the idea of land as a capsule for history. A section of exposed earth also known as escarpment reveals sedimentary layers of rock and earth containing natural geological artifacts. These layers are in essence the history of our planet. This project is about fabricating history with our own synthetic and fleeting artifacts as the medium.
