Organic Matter
Organic Matter operates on a basis of understanding that the strength in connection resides in the fact that it is ultimately temporary. The idea is that to honor the truth of fleeting moments, we must understand the power that is held in each moment’s ephemerality - an ephemerality granted by nature’s inherent basics of life. To take that moment and make a life (in a personal sense) out of it is something that moves beyond the allowances of nature and becomes entirely human. The act of experiencing moments one at a time, creating memories of them, and revisiting those memories is a process that imbues our human, nature-granted right to life with a specifically human experience.
Nature and its subsequent notions of death, birth, physicality, and form combine with the mankind-ification of pleasure through electronic music, light, community, and freedom in this work. Together they create a landscape of humanity that understands universal emotion, and it’s within that landscape that I have chosen to make a home for my memories.
Scenes of Dissonance
A collection of imagined realities of confounding wheres and whens - this work experiences what it means to make a home caught between unreachable future and unsalvageable past. From an act of world-creation in moments of enchanting isolation, this series of spaces was formed to provide shelter from the unyielding treachery of what is, was, and will be. It breathes consciousness into imagined escape, and finds peace in the oscillation between absence and presence - a dissonant state of being.
