LA-LIKE: Prospecting Palm Fronds, Unique bronze cast, Dimensions variable
Furthering my conceptual mapping of Los Angeles, this time through its discarded palm fronds, this project consists of 150 natural bronze palm frond sculptures, all of which are unique and named according to where they were found in LA.
“A critical element to the new sculptural work that I’m doing is that these are unique pieces specifically made with a lost wax process—which means that the original raw organic object is actually destroyed in the process and replaced with, in this case, bronze. There is a way in which the actual replacement of the object being documented relates to the intentions of documentary photography, but I’m not sure what the proper term is—it isn’t index, it is more a stand-in somehow, a facsimile or relief of the “real,” a more physicalized way of recording something that is or that “happened.” The traditional intention of photography to “represent the real” gets taken to a more expanded realm when the actual object being documented is actually used and replaced in that process of documentation, if that makes sense. This work is inspired by a photographic impulse, a documentary impulse even, but it no longer needs to exist within a photographic realm. In a term I’ve created, the Imagiatic (as opposed to the Photographic), the medium doesn’t really matter—the imaginary, the image, all the intangible ideas that traditionally lived within photography as a representational medium, no longer need to be bound by them. Thus the bronzed palm fronds—these ephemeral objects that are disappearing almost overnight, cast in a material that lasts forever—still solidly sits within my conceptual realm of misremembered mapping of the imaginary of Los Angeles, is informed by a documentary impulse, has a bizarre relation to the Real, but is no longer bound by the photographic.”
