There is a strong before and after element in the work. What is important to me in this installation is seeing how it changes, how the pieces are altered by the creative processes of natural elements such as tide, algae growth, and barnacles. Because this interaction between the artist and “collaborators” will happen completely independently, it will provide an element of surprise to all. When going to galleries, we often want to touch the artwork. This project takes that desire even further, where not only the work can be touched, it can also be changed by anyone and anything who has the desire to do so. As someone whose work tends to be very controlled, I would like to give up some of that control and let the works be transformed, thus hopefully being transformed by them.
