Steven Garst: Making Space Exhibit

This body of work examines how we affect the land and how the land affects us. It uses imagery of firewood as a metaphor for the relationship we have with our environments. We till up the earth and chop down trees, which can be seen as destructive acts. But the earth heals, regrows, and reclaims. The earth is constantly moving towards its natural state. We build structures, they rot, and we build them again.
