Blane De St Croix
My recent body of work explores the geopolitical landscape through drawing and sculptural installation. I conduct extensive research on each project,--through site visits, photographic documentation, interviews, and satellite imagery. Employing a combination of natural and industrial materials, I am interested in articulating humankind's desire to take command over the earth, revealing distinct conflicts with ecology, politics and ourselves in large-scale installations that utilize architectural space in a distinct, powerful and imposing manner.
