Aphoristic Extinctions
EcoConsciousness
APHORISTIC EXTINCTIONS is a series of large ink paintings of endangered species verging or on the list to becoming extinct. The paintings are paired with titles that explore how provocative language and aphorisms keeps Fear in control and lack of knowledge of the natural world at bay. I am an intermedia environmental artist exploring ecology, technology, spectacle, community, documentary and archive in the Anthropocene as integral parts of my practice. I combine theatrical interactive, environmental and site-specificity producing work which attempts to help audiences re-discover/appreciate critical aspects of our ephemeral world. For twenty years I co-ran GoldmanArts Inc. a design and Art studio producing architecturally installed wind-activated sculpture as event works many based on vulnerable marine creatures. This was an extension of being a Fellow at the Center For Advanced Visual Studies at M.I.T. where I studied under the late Otto Piene (Sky Art, Group Zero) and received my masters.
