DICHOTOMIES

Natural Dichotomies/To Bond​

​

Partway through Thesis I, as I was getting deeper into my subject matter, we explored Richard Serra's verb list. In my research, which included a lot of sitting outside and thinking, I was starting to investigate what we comes to mind when we think of "natural"—is it animals? Plants? Ourselves? I was also questioning the various extremes or differences—beautiful vs. ugly,  animal vs. plant, wild vs. still—that all fall under the same umbrella of "nature." Pulling "to bond" from Serra's list, I experimented with bonding some of these dichotomies, as I saw them, together. Same nature, but different.
