_ animated GIF, 2020 Mountains is a photographic series of weekly impermanent sculptures built using archives of past photographic work and discarded materials. Made while California’s shelter-in-place closures were in effect, this work begins with the memory of mountain forms; materials are piled, balanced, and photographed. At the point of their collapse, the process of building repeats. Constrained by the physical dimensions of the studio space, the walls function as supports and determine the mountain’s boundaries. This cycle of reprocessing is further realized for the web as an endless animated loop. |
