Initial experiments with ecological art

Making art about the environment, and inspired by the environment is a continual trend in my artwork but making art exclusively form found objects in nature is not a commonplace for me. While exploring the space surrounding the Elon Lodge it seemed that the most common color of foliage, was dead. However in our meandering of the property, Kyle and I discovered a few vibrant colors that stood out against the dreary gray overtone that the environment seems to adopt during the winter, and it is these vibrant colors that we chose to base our site-specific piece on. We didn't have a specific purpose or motive in what we ultimately created, we simply reacted to the found objects and constructed something that was not simply pleasing to the eye, but something that challenged the common perception of what sculptures should look like, or what they should be made of.
