Event Horizon
Cast pigmented resin and insects, wood, 53”x12”x7”, 2023
Event Horizon is a continuation of cast resin and insect sculptures. The groupings of insects are clustered from the center of the composition in a sunburst array. The title references the astrophysics term that describes a boundary beyond which there is no return. Once we pass this boundary, events can no longer affect an observer. We are rapidly approaching the point of no return where our climate and environment are irreversibly damaged by our reliance on fossil fuels. Event Horizon preserves our current biodiversity ironically in a fossil fuel-derived material, preserving our current inability to respond quickly enough to save our own planet.
