The Living Room is an installation that invites viewers to think about their relationship with nature. As we fill our homes with images and reminders of nature, the actual wildness outside our door is transforming, often into disappearance. Using a combination of familiar household furnishings as a surface for a painting, I have created an environment that highlights the idea that nature is a human construction. The patterns on the wallpaper, the upholstery on the couch, and the paintings on the wall, all depict living nature, frozen in time to beautify our surroundings and enhance our constructed sense of comfort. The painted projection further emphasizes my concern about our perceived control over nature by framing the interior as a structure which mediates our access to nature.
