Here Today, Everywhere Tomorrow


  • Kress Contemporary 1624 East 7th Avenue, Tempus Projects Tampa, FL, 33605 United States (map)

This installation focuses on how each of us connects with space. Our health and the health of the land are codependent.   We are interested in the value or disvalue we observe in natural spacesWe combine old and new materials: like used plastic bottles and pieces of ceramic. The ceramic parts, which are reminiscent of ancient crafts, bring us history. Plastic bottles represent today’s environmental issues and our throwaway culture. By merging these materials, we can see how our current waste meets traditional art forms. Our installation is intended to create a surreal effect by constructing a polluted landscape and placing it in a white gallery. Enoch’s work communicates how plastic material from around the world is transported through the oceans and often ends up in his home country of Goanna.  Mike is focused on land used as dumpsites left from farms, construction, and poor management of waste.  Their installation is a created landscape of dirt in a gallery with green plants, garbage, and toxic-looking ceramic sculptures with metal oozing and oxidizing into mosey green glaze.
