Artist Statement for Rachel Horner
|
|
|
I intend to start a discussion about the paradox of how modern manmade structures reflect a desire to create a space that supports life, yet is destructive to the very biodiversity that fuels our existence. The use of mirror forces the viewer to see parts of themselves in a space that they would otherwise never occupy; a dilapidated landscape where environmental consciousness is absent. This emphasizes the collective effect of our actions as individuals which we often perceive as inconsequential to the environment. The abstraction of the original photographs through overlay and visible mirror reinforces the idea that sustainability is not an easily rectified issue with one obvious answer. The manner in which nature reclaims abandoned spaces is explored in the work through the juxtaposition of natural forms and rigidly geometric structures.
