Passing thoughts on material use.

Inspired, yet still troubled. Material is too easily a fad.

Recreate a landfill mound without any dirt, so one can see what lies inside beneath the dirt, some of it biodegradable, much of it not. That which isn't biodegradable is a structure; that which is rots away. It's the rot we want, the decay that is healthy, not the imposed random structure.

Recreate a thick dust cloud within a transparent balloon, gravity strangely sinking the cloud down toward the ground, lightness defied.

But if re-creating an object or phenomena is the goal, it's restrictive: scope ends with the re-creation. Is everything real and fake?
