Paper & Tape Petri-Cave Statement

An Installation By:

Laura Falkenberg

Paper Tape Emma Kullberg

Devon Larsen

Petri Cave Josh Mercil


As Science was our starting point for this installation, interpretations of this work reference states of growth and organic material. But as a collaborative group, our understanding of this work went far beyond that. Moving through the environment as a cohesive organism, we began to understand how scientists explore the gray area between knowledge and experimentation. As we worked, we began to feel as if we were explorative, artistic scientists ourselves. We saw connections between each other’s ideas and strove for connections within the installation as we worked to bring it to resolution. In the end, we saw a connection between the explorative process of scientists in order to attain knowledge, and the explorative process of artists in order to create meaning, all in an effort to relay that knowledge to the outside world. As you enter our installation, we hope you are overcome with the same sense of exploration and connectedness that this creative process provided for us. Enjoy.
