CURIO/TYPE
SELECTED WORKS FROM 2000-2006
On Place – Landscape
Landscape is the site of creation, redemption, and reconciliation. These theological premises take form in a setting—a story unfolding in time and place. To become conscious of creation at work today, and of what it requires of us, should concern us all. How are we to steward the places in which we find ourselves? What is our moral relationship to the land? Development and progress, occupation and conservation, redemption and sustainability—these tensions beg our attention in the places we live.
The works archived here were created between 2000 and 2006. Exhibited at the Riverside Art Museum in 2006, the exhibition titled Curio/Type borrows from taxonomic language used to identify and classify specimens.
A curio specimen—an anomaly, something unlike any other—an object valued and collected for its rarity or singularity.
A type specimen—the defining or representative example of a given kind.
This body of work explores numerous themes, projections, and the actual habitats of the western cultural landscape.
