| Artist Statement: | Weathered and aged we still stand. The progressing and changing world builds a storm around us. Technology meant to simplify life has in itself made life more complex. It’s low, constant hum singing in the background. The walls crack and the paint peels revealing the musty smell of the past. Reminded, we hold on to our values and beliefs while longing for home. We continue our day-to-day life: Our work. Our hobbies. Our wonder. The layers of our lives continue to build like the rings of a tree. The weathered and aged in the modern world. |
