"Paper Tree" Amanda Arcuri
2008 chromogenic print

i really like Arcuri's idea. she's taken a man-made paper tree, and has put it among natural trees that are shaped just like it and takes pictures. this paper tree appears in several of her works. i think that the idea of inserting a foreign object into a natural setting is an interesting idea. this plays with the relationship of man-made objects and natural ones. this goes along with my theme. maybe i will bring in natural materials into my pieces to further the relationship i want to address. i'll have to start gathering twigs and leaves!!
