conditioned torso #5
In 2015 I began a mixed media exploration I named the "8/29 Project." 8/29 deals physically with the laceration and incumbent ruins in the wake of August 29, 2005 when New Orleans was desecrated by Hurricane Katrina. Narrating through images from Katrina, I am attempting to meditate on the concepts of loss and chaos, and essentially the human condition as a whole. During the summer of 2015 I drove all over south east Louisiana looking for physical memories of the storm. I found a yellow, one-story house with a red roof in Braithwaite with a bright red X Code next to the door stating a gas leak and three deceased bodies were discovered on the premises. Around back, I found a mannequin torso almost poetically dislodged from the rear of the house of anonymous victims.
