of earth & myth
myth
Below the surface of myths lie ideas and assumptions about human and deity behavior, male and female dynamics, worship and desire, storytelling and oppression.
earth
Harvesting dead ash trees (that have succumbed to the invasive Emerald Ash Borer) and transforming them into shapes of blue whale bones, gives us a tangible and intimate witness to the demise of a great entity.
If it reminds you of a skeletal exhibit in a museum, then think of it as one that has crashed to the ground.
Or as scavenged remains found in a quiet place in the forest.
Think of it as a funeral rite.
A memorial to the lost.
Consider all of the dead trees you see now, bare and pale amongst the green of the woods for what they are: the remnants of what once was a living creature.
earth & myth
There is a dichotomy between us and the ancients regarding the perception of invisible things:
man’s simultaneous elevation and destruction of nature, and the attribution of deity for explanation.
