Repetition

MINEFIELD: IN REPETITION, a by-product, a recursive presentation of both material and subject, is derived from a wider installation entitled, Minefield. Multiple photographic fields of anthracite fragments and images of an egg -- internally irradiated by laser-excited protons, speak of repeating life cycles. This work is metaphorically connected to minefields that transform organisms and ideological landscapes. Anthracite presented as pure carbon, egg, as a reproductive cell, laser-excited protons as radiation, is an assembled reductive example of scientific and political forces that contribute to human development.
