Meden Agan was one of three commands carved into the
ancient Greek temple of the Oracle at Delphi.
It means nothing in excess or everything in moderation.
Installation shot.
This was an installation using only found objects to address
what we leave behind as humans. The work begins as a tiny pebble and
works its way up the wall to a shelf so high
that its contents are un-viewable.
Text created with scrap paper and a found can of spray paint.
Combine of found objects 25" x 15" for each.
This piece used the dialectics of man made by-products and
natural by-products to question the idea of waste.
