Diving Through Surface into Light | 2010

image of the diving through surface into light project

I was provoked by the eerie qualities of abandoned houses in Carrollton, Georgia, where I reside. The dressers and diving board suggest a precarious and fragile nature of the interpersonal qualities and the economic qualities of home that plague our current political state. The televisions are a symbol for a cultural complacency. After falling off our much-anticipated precipice, we have nothing to catch our fall, except these "comforts" of home. A tent of warm blankets is tucked away at the end of the river of televisions. The river then leaves the viewer at a comfortable, but impermanent structure, cradling the dilapidated child-like symbol of home, the dollhouse.
