The industrial harvesting of earth's natural resources is the focus of my recent sculpture. While this activity is necessary, there are always negative environmental consequences to be paid. My sculpture attempts to acknowledge that price while also pointing out that we as users are all complicit in the harvest and resulting consequences. LOCATOR is a sculpture referencing the discovery process of locating the site of desired material before actual extraction begins. A large plumb bob suspended by a child’s hand atop an industrial structure represents our ignorance or indifference to the consequences of these mining operations. The cast iron horizontal plane represents the distressed and violated earth surface. A hand-covered iron vortex suggests the potential human consequences. The small convex mirror at the bottom of the sculpture allows the viewer to see their own reflection and possibly acknowledge their own complicity as users, in the harvest of the earth's natural resources.
