The idea of being impermanent scares a lot of people, that we can be replaced at any given moment. The notion of impermanence brings me to the idea of change. The idea of nothing being set in stone, and is subject to constant change because of nature, inspired this installation. The forest is a sacred space where one can begin to grasp the principles of impermanence. Thus the medium became moss because of its impermanent qualities,  collecting and replacing its location became a mediation. Collecting moss through the forest became the artwork in itself, replacing it with a different site became an interruption. This 204 square feet snake-like was an interruption to the forest, yet allows for new networks within the forest to take place. In the process of the piece I caught myself going back and cleaning the twigs and the leaves off the moss. Yet I realized that in doing that, it would be counter beneficial. That the effort that it would take to constantly keep my piece tidy would disbenefit the flow of the forest.
