black and white is the new color
Andrew Sroka
My work, photo based images and videos, addresses the common experience of dwelling in the rotting and evolving urbanity today.
Lath and Plaster

Our common existence is framed by the continuum of space and time. The absorption of unique experiences generated by these quantum variables, layers and marks the personal journey.
Wall construction emerged in our cultural vernacular as a basic means to physically organize, protect and define our sense of space. Transmogrified by the passage of time, this flat surface partition becomes embedded with intimate meaning – marks of a collective presence. And so, this wall, a two-dimensional division, becomes the very membrane broken to explore the layers of our personal and collective psyche by excavating the substance beneath structure. To slowly, methodically and meditatively deconstruct this architectural barrier of paint, plaster and wooden slats, the skeleton and anatomy of our joint experience is explored through this exposition. The process of creation and destruction is not simply about addition with equal subtraction. Instead, this work, deploying the theatrics of removal and des destruction attends to experiential evolution; an ongoing developmental change transmuting and subjugating both space and time.
