“Scituate Rectangle”, a piece which abstracts the natural view of a seascape in Massachusetts, responds to Kenji Nakahashi’s “A Cut in the Sky”, placing our view of the natural world in a concrete encasement. In doing so, it raises questions about our relationship to the natural world, our modern structures and confined vantage points. At times lonely? At times inviting?
