Strewn, Hither and Thither, 2019, HUB-Robeson Galleries, Penn State University, State College, PA

This exhibition of painted inflatable sculptures takes its cue in part from the features of a post glacial, terminal moraine landscape, where boulders have been plucked and gouged out of the landscape and dumped as the melting glacier retreats, left to populate the landscape in random patterns. Inflatables have an implicit bodily reference in that they exist in two states - both as flaccid skin and taught volume - metaphors for our bodily processes: inhaling/exhaling; taught/wrinkled skin; flaccid/erect organs, etc. So, for this exhibition, the forms are on timers, living/breathing, dying/exhaling on the hour every hour. They are therefore an embodiment of our existence, and the symbiotic relationship between our planet and our survival.
