New Work



This work was constructed out of sheet metal and twigs. Sheet metal is made up of two elements iron and carbon. The atomic number for iron is 26 and the atomic number for carbon is 6 making a total of 32. I chose 32 twigs to relate to the atomic number of iron. One of the elements made by man and the other being all natural and created from nature. The dimensions on the steel rectangle are 21" x 4" x 4". This project came about through my frustration with how man kind is destroying this earth and it beauty. This work has nothing to do with my photography what so ever. Although, the photographs from Edward Burtynsky have influenced me heavily. The work of Andy Goldsworthy has taught me to take my work to a different dimension.
