(de)composition DVD formatted video, Running Time: 60 minutes.
May 6-29, 2010
Using an unfired ceramic bust of the artist, the (de)composition video is a visual representation of the breakdown of the human form. The video of the clay bust slowly disintegrating in a pool of water has a quiet, meditative quality to it. The slow-falling flakes of clay and the floating tendrils of clay fog create a spiritual, calming element that the artist has not often associated with the idea of death. At the end of the hour long video, the falling debris creates a fog that eventually envelopes the head, signifying the way we are slowly forgotten in the memory of the living and are lost in history.
