The Marrow of It
Solo Outdoor Sculpture Exhibit
Meredith Randall Knight MFA Exhibition, The University of Alabama, Department of Art, @ the Bamboo Park
2 October 2014
Everyday materials, such as plastic grocery bags and packaging foam, are embedded within each form and serve as the marrow of each piece. These typically discarded materials are resurfaced with concrete to create pieces that are insulated outdoors and explore ideas of nature and its manipulation. The works reference cycles of growth and erosion in a Southern landscape.
The pieces were installed in late July to allow the surrounding environment to grow up around them as if they were remnants of past natural forms and architectural constructions. The landscape has been manicured to provide a way to navigate the space while allowing a natural environment to surround these synthetic creations.
