Towers 2015- 2017
Towers is a collection of illusions about a specific human delusion. Namely that fail- ure is a bad, bad thing. There is no space to fail in this day and age. The unproductive human. The closer, the antihero has lost his battle. ‘Towers’ is no more than that.
It is claiming the right to spend time on a useless obsession. It will not cure cancer and it will not feed the world. It will not even stand the test of time. The towers will collapse and all these is left to show for them is a record that once for a brief period they stood tall like totem poles to a time spent refusing to chase the proverbial hamster wheel. The question is whether a declaration of purpose - or the lack of it - might protect you from failure.
Ultimately each tower was a way (to learn) to let it go. They collapsed, dis- solved, dismantled and burned, and to me this was beautiful.
