Enmeshed, 2023

Enmeshed is a sculptural installation, a poiesis, of two systems entangled. One is an organic system represented by wild grapevine. The other, a manmade system, is represented by fabric wrapped coils created from industrially manufactured items. Grapevine depletes its tree host through constriction. Similarly, industrially made materials also drain resources from the environment over time. Neither the grapevine nor the manufactured items are necessarily destructive in and of themselves, but they become so through an accumulation. Growing into something increasingly unruly and burdensome, it is under that weight that they lay waste to the resources that have provided for their being. Silhouettes of shadowy boundaries correlate to the idea of the repercussions of a system,the effects farther reaching than its physical presence, the work becomes a psychological landscape reflecting on a nest environment and our changing relationship within it.
