tiny continent
The series “tiny continent” is a set of photographs of ephemeral sculptures created by stacking and clustering little bits of model-making wood and other bits of material. This investigation started as a game that I would play in my studio as part of the process for making other work. While I was photographing works for an upcoming show, I decided I should also start documenting these little piles that appear in my studio. The documentation and presentation of this as an art project changes the context slightly and even calls into question my own assumptions about what “my work” has become. In some ways, these little one-minute sculptures are the most vital and personal work that I am doing. It is a little window into my larger artistic process.
