Description:
In a late summer landscape where trees and grass grow amidst industrial decay, a rusted automobile muffler flounders in a stream, struggling for breath while a stainless steel kitchen pot flies playfully through the air. This piece is an expression of the desire for harmony within oneself and one’s environment, andthe play of tensions between the body and mind.
