THE GROUND

In this body of work, photographs of cracked roadways and disintegrating asphalt are presented side by side with rubbings, clay impressions and actual chunks of roads. Her work asks: how do we know a thing? We see it, feel it, touch it, are aware of it even when it is only peripheral. Some of the rubbings of parking lots roads have been cut up and woven back together, further fragmenting an already broken surface, while also mending it. These images could have been taken anywhere in the world where ground has been paved over and cracked, yet these pieces are also hyperlocal. What the images do not reveal is dirt, grass, planted spaces: they are all asphalt, and broken asphalt— a dystopian world where nothing grows, nothing left is left but the broken pavement.
