Homeland, 2017
|
At one level, Homeland was inspired by the photographs I took of friends and family, living in the Ozark Mountains during my visit in March 2016 with the threads representing the ephemeral, delicate, pre-language that surrounds our experiences, memories, and home. Like tendrils they touch and cluster before disappearing into space. On the other hand, the title Homeland evokes an undercurrent of fear, otherness, and the survivalist mentality common in the rural south. The installation functions much like this social landscape, it restricts entrance and shows it’s complex interconnected dependency.
