In ‘Pardon our Progress’
Austin artist Joseph Phillips examines the landscape, and specifically
our impact on nature through recent drawings, sculpture, and
installation. The work investigates our tendency to supplant the
infinite reality of nature with an over-simplified, commodified,
streamlined or synthetic version. Delicate gouache, ink and graphite
drawings bring to mind internet product shots, or cartoonish scientific
renderings where all but the central sliver of subject has been removed,
to be studied or dissected further.
