Wood and Steel Exclusion
As the title of this piece suggests, much of my artistic work involves the idea of exclusion. I photograph the instruments of exclusion. I like to find them in old structures or objects. The idea of exclusion which stems from the fear of “the other”. The protection and guarding of one’s own. This is a natural instinct that stems from the guarding of ones nourishment. It can be seen in the animal kingdom, although among animals, once it is satiated it will willingly share. Humans need an intellectual or emotional stimulus to agree to share anything. The whole idea is very complex and psychological and can be theorized upon at length.
This work was on exhibition October, 2004, group show with Mary Bogdan, assemblages, Anne-Marie Vacherot, photographs and Sol Lang (moi), photographs at Galerie de bouche à oreille, Montreal, Québec, Canada.
