Reckoning, 2022
Mixed media installation
Site specific
Mysterious and provocative, Reckoning is a cautionary tale calling attention to a dystopian world of climate change. A field of harrow discs hold an array of objects. Some from the natural world and some cultural artifacts; some are found and others made by the artist. On the table is an assortment of symbolic objects that suggest time, alchemy, and transformation. A seat at the table is for s/he who sees the need, and is committed to the possibility of change.
