Line of Demarcation (2023)
Wood, Fiber optic filament, LED lights
Line of Demarcation is a light installation reflecting on the complex relationships that shape our understanding of the natural world.
The installation uses 2000+ suspended fiber optic lights to form a network reminiscent of The Cut and The Rail Park’s subterranean plant roots, as well as negative space to represent the invisible borders we use to classify and confine our ecosystems.
In this underground view, people can move freely between & around the unclassified entangled roots momentarily blurring what (and who) is “native” and “invasive” to examine the human impact on migration, the impact of language on perception and classification, and the consequences of that impact on stigmatization, stewardship and care.
