So, I suppose some of you may have noticed that a lot of I have put up center an environmentalist perspective. I honestly can say that I did not plan out that my selections would strictly come from that point of view, but I think unlike the artists, like those we've studied in Overlay, focus on revitalizing or reinterpreting ancient themes, perspectives, and events in their contemporary works, whenever I think of nature, I tend to think of it in a more literal sense, which leads me into more contemporary themes concerning the environment. I don't think of it as something I do on purpose, but I naturally associate idea of preservation when the outdoor world comes to mind.
With that, I worked on my project over the break and found myself again stressing a topic that concerning developments that affected an ecosystem. I'll be studying away through the text to find a few instances where perhaps an artists may have used a work to represent a political statement, or concern of the ancient world. As I do recall, there are a few who might fit the bill. Stay tuned kids.
