sculpture in the lobby represents a treelike structure, extending
through the ceiling opening to the 2nd floor and creates a canopy
and a feeling of being overwhelmed by plastics.

Artists Statement:
We are a group of artists working collaboratively
to create an art installation, which addresses both our ecological
and aesthetic concerns. Realizing that only a revolution in
thought can bring about effective change, we have turned to our
art as a means of bringing consciousness to others. The form
is created from our wastes; the plastic bags we use to carry groceries
in, the wrappers that keep our food fresh. Every day our trash
is rearranged so that we don't have to see it. This work was
created to be seen, in hopes that it will be a catalyst for
much needed change. It implies a larger issue, which needs
our attention, now.
"In weighing the fate of the earth
and, with it our own fate, we stand before a mystery, and in tampering
with the earth we tamper with a mystery. We are in deep ignorance.
Our ignorance should make us wonder, our wonder should make us humble,
our humility should inspire us to reverence and caution, and our
reverence and caution should lead us to act without delay to withdraw
delay to withdraw the threat we now pose to the earth and to ourselves."
- Jonathan Schnell, The Fate of
the Earth, New York: Alfred A Knopf, 1982, p.95. |
