This is the newest piece I've done, worked on this weekend and finished sometime yesterday...
The title, Copy. Cut. Paste., juxtaposes our fleeting and immediate tendencies of the digital age with that of nature (the image), an almost unimaginably complex and ancient "being." The idea was to apply the concept of the "copy, cut, paste" to real life. Realizing the idiocy of the concept and inability to create an actual transition and application of one to the other, you are faced with the fact that our normal solutions, the ways we fix our everyday, may not apply to everything. While we brush the crumbs under the rug, we can't simply sweep trash under a blanket of leaves. We may change our minds on what to do on a Friday night on a whim, but changing tactics in preservation may hurt years of work and progress. Where we copy and replace what is wrong in the digital world, we can't simply replace something physical with another object and expect it to work the same.
The piece is meant to show a disintegrating world where one simply replaces what is lost with another object. What results is an image of an unexisting world...one lost between nothingness and physicality...question and purpose. An image of a land where nothing is sure of what the other is doing, what it is doing itself, and therefore, sees nothing come to full fruition.
