Transient Utopias
Larry Wolf, Transient Utopias: Fractured (2022) |
Utopia, from Greek for no place. These are worlds that exist as memory or fantasy. They are transient, from Latin for going beyond, of no fixed abode. Places I never have been or where I might be again.
Yet I desire them:
ancestors who are alive;collaboration with my artist mother;wild and gnarly sunflowers;nature entwined with essential infrastructure;fractured urban surfaces opening to the cosmos.
T-shirts are functional, washable, wearable art. They are hand-crafted imperfect mechanical reproductions; a celebration of everyday life.
