Shapescapes are works that consist of mimicking ideas of sectioning and dividing the landscape or creating self contained environments/installations. I am fascinated by the absurdity of the physical creation of a political landscape and the need to create boundaries from each other by these aggressive acts of manipulation. Meanwhile, we also attempt to create utopias of nature in and outside of nature itself, in order to impose some form of control over an inner peace. It seems escape/retreat and fear for the future, in many respects, governs the shape of our living environments. It is these manifestations in the shapes of landscapes that I am interested in — what they might look like given a certain person’s disposition with themselves and their environment.
