“Fissure” by Shawn Smith
Smith investigates the slippery intersection between the digital world and reality. Specifically, he is interested in how we experience nature through technology. We are currently living in a digital age where we predominantly experience the natural world through our phones, computers, and television screens. This distance from the reality of nature distorts our perspective and creates a disconnect. As species decline and fade into memory, so many animals and organisms now have a stronger presence in the digital world than in the natural world.
“Fissure” is created with individually cut 1/2” x 1/2” blocks of plywood with ink and acrylic.
