“A Drift” (a metaphor for our times)
People are tossed about, caught up in the cross currents of the pandemic, cultural upheaval, environmental mayhem, and economic uncertainty.
The five images are selected from “A Drift”, a compilation of videos, drawings and photographs. The work was a response to a vast amount of driftwood caused by violent storms sweeping upstate New York, USA during the spring and summer of 2021. The process of gathering driftwood melded with ideas. How to work with these drifters? It was finding foundlings a new home, a new meaning, a metamorphosis of sorts. What do they have to say? It is uncovering something hidden, giving voice to something deformed, and to cast-a-ways a new life.
