| dc.description.abstract | The artist's statement: My work seems to always trace back to American roadsides. I find my thought process and ideas always arise when I am forced to commute. I am constantly curious about objects I pass by when I am driving. This curiosity leads itself into work that involves exploring directly on site of local roadsides, resulting in dealing with subject matter such as roadkill, trash, and the human body. Driving is often a necessity in American culture, it's a tool, a means of transportation, and vehicles are often symbols of status. Driving is a means of getting somewhere quickly and efficiently, it's fast paced, but within this action I see a stillness wasting away. I seek to question our relationship with animals from the contradictions roadkill poses in regards to our ideals of anthromophoization and moral duty towards animals. Within the same landscape, discarded objects thrown away by humans co-exist with these roadkill creatures. There is a direct correlation between human behavior and trash, so what does our roadside litter say about who we are as culture? These objects serve as a vessel for me to better understand concepts of human value systems, animal relationships, mortality, neglect, and ecosystem issues. | |
