“What the artists, like the alchemists, probably did not realize was the psychological fact that they were projecting part of their psyche into matter or inanimate objects. Hence the ‘mysterious animation’ that entered into such things, and the great value attached even to rubbish. They projected their own darkness, their earthly shadow, a psychic content that they and their time had lost and abandoned.” - Aniela Joffe
I am interested in materiality and the ways in which we experience our physical reality with our senses. In these images, I am focusing on investigating the ways in which the combination of human manufactured materials and natural forces have come together to create a site where the traditional distinctions between what is man-made and natural have blurred.
