Danielle Foushee www.daniellefoushee.com Map Space, Gravity, and Time My sculptures map space, gravity, and time. While my work isn't always directly about landscape, it's invariably in response to it or situated within it. My relationship to the land is key, and writers including Bachelard, Calvino, Abbey, Thoreau, Solnit, Lippard, and Ackerman color those experiences in particular ways. The work asks the viewer to consider the implications of human markmaking and erasure in relationship to nature, conservation, and recreation. I'm interested in working with materials to cultivate a quality of lightness in relationship to landscape and place. My idea of lightness has roots in Italo Calvino's vision of lightness balanced by the weight of being. It hopes to envelop each viewer, cradling and nurturing them. Lightness invites inner reflection, celebrates silence, and encourages curiosity and imagination. Lightness doesn't have a particular story, living in a solitary moment. It appears, disappears, and reappears. It is elusive. Evoked through the senses; it's neither obvious nor dogmatic. It changes, migrates, and evolves. Lightness is both pleasurable and unsettling.
