Decay Show

Four pieces from my morpho series were selected to be part of the Decay Show at the Sixth street Gallery in Vancouver WA.

"Decay"

-- an aesthetic
interpretation of the various forms, stages, and manners of
decay, and its effects in and upon the world around us. The
passage of time brings the natural decay of our bodies and our
faculties. Buildings are abandoned and left to crumble,
changing the boundaries of our cities and nations. Moral and
cultural decay eat away at individuals and societies from within.
Life is change, and decay an inevitability, but decay can be just
as much a force for rebirth as for ruin. For as the falling leaves
of autumn decay upon the forest floor, they in turn serve as the
basis for the re-emergence of life in the Spring, in the endless
cycle of the seasons. All things decay and come to an end, but
every end brings the possibility of new beginnings.

"I have always looked upon Decay as being just as wonderful
and rich an expression of life as growth." -- Henry Miller.

Decay - to pass from a sound, prosperous, or perfect state, to
one of imperfection, adversity, or dissolution."
