"Disposable Art" is an extensive idea I continue to explore. I am interested in understanding what separates disposal from disposition in our world. I first started exploring this understanding through our nature environments, focusing on how seamlessly trash blends in. Ironically when I took this photograph I had no intention of capturing the package of sour patch, I was too focused on the turtles. I wonder if and how, our littering behaviors will have permanence, and embed themselves into our everyday environment. Currently I have extended this project to the body, my body. I do believe that the body is a landscape. I want to explore what is disposable to me, on me, and who dictates the disposing of this material. Is it the natural processes bound to the human body, my conscious, learned behavior, or the standards of society. There is a parallel element in all these explorations, one does not exist without the other. I chose the title "Disposable Art" because of my adolescent habit of constantly throwing away nearly everything I'd create.
