My work explores different interactions between humanity and nature. I utilize installations as well as sculptural objects to address issues ranging from growth and decay to how we perceive reality according to one’s scale. The inherent beauty I find in landscape on the micro and macro levels influence my work aesthetically, while also inspiring an objective way of approaching my creation process conceptually. Whatever medium I wield is stretched beyond its common use, emphasizing the unique elements of the material and its possibilities. I collaborate with the material at hand carefully not imposing too much influence hence allowing its natural tendencies to peak through.
Art piece featuring David Lougee has kudzu, branches, logs, grass and rope. This hut was intended to create a space for Atlanta Beltline users to interact with through new forms of natural abstraction.
