ego-eco

This was a project in Japan, ECO- EGO

 between ECO and EGO

Which is which?

 

ECO – the earth and it’s rhythms

EGO – one’s own self and actions 

 

five sea washed stones

selected by me –

my action removing them from their natural place

 

rope made using rushes

collected from the field –

my action changing the plant’s natural cycle

 

the rush rope wrapped around the five shore stones

my action forming a finished piece

which encourages respect for the natural world

 

what is really natural?

we are all inextricably bound to the natural world

we are part of the ecosystem, we interact, we destroy, we create
