Taking time to reflect on the residency and formulate a plan to move forward seemed overwhelming back in June. There were so many different things I wanted to work on. In prioritizing topics to research and address in my work, personal connection and ephemerality come to the fore.
Last month, I started exploring the entropic process of dismantling my sand painting. I've been thinking of creation and destruction as integral parts of the work. While evaluating last month's photographs, I decided to try combining areas of disorderly, blended sand from a dismantled painting with more controlled patterns. This resulted in creating sand paintings, destroying the original work, and creating a new, imaginary landscape from the ruins of the old one.
