i'm currently into temporary art. my thing is, wherever i go, i leave behind a piece of work using the materials from the surrounding area. usually this involves arranging items in an appealing sculpture. for exampler, i'll walk into a grocery store, grab a few dozen cans and arrange them in the middle of an aisle and walk away. i prefer to leave everything that i make unsigned and i refuse to take pictures. to me, what is fleeting is beautiful so all of the things i create have the potential to be destroyed. they are anonymous and with time, disappear. i especially like working with plant materials, i enjoy watching them slowly die and whither away-what is left behind is the soul of the art piece and to me that is more appealing than what was actually there. i am inspired by the relentless iclination to preseve artwork forever-we frame art, put it in museums, preserve it, write books about it, take pictures of it and reproduce it. why? because we are challenged to make art eternal, once it is gone, we feel lost. i feed off of that feeling of loss and the instinct to preserve by working against it. everything i create disappears with time and it is anonymous. i get a bigger rush out of the act of creating than the finished piece. i also enjoy the thought of knowing that a piece has been destroyed. when i create something at a park for example, i track its death. when it is gone, its soul and inspiration remains and to me that is art.
