(Biscayne Giant) along with Carbonate
Falls (Marsh Lettuce) use scale, image,
digital alteration, configuration and symbol to evoke the extensive
geo-hydrologic systems of south Florida. The almost flat terrain
of soutn Florida
is permeated
with dynamic/complex aquifer systems that feed on the terrestrial
climate, oceanic hydro-influx and exhange, and flow from
the northern part of the state. The arboreal and marsh structures
imaged in
these
works
(hydrologic systems
in their own right), were selected and transformed as representatives
of this hidden dynamic. The images were digitally stretched and
configured as cascading elements responding to the architecture
of the installation space. |
