WILDCAT/MOUSETRAPS is intended to be a site-specific multi-media installation questioning the dichotomies of wild vs tame and brutal vs beautiful.
During the Summer of 2014, the Studio Barn in Claryville will be transformed into a workshop of items. Each will have an element of Mousetraps and will include Found objects, repurposed into Art.
Why Mousetraps? They are manufactured as killing machines, to be hidden from sight. To remove small pests from City life or Country life. The artist has been exploring the possibilities of these tiny canvases for the part few years. The grain of wood can call to mind dream landscapes, or the rectangular series can refer to the windows of a building at night.
These everyday objects are not what they seem, and the goal of WILDCAT/MOUSETRAPS is to play with the possibility of creating an Other. To transform the Brutal into Beauty.
