In Terraformer, landscape images and plant matter are subjected to an arbitrary ordering system and thrown off balance. The cactus is cut from one side and then grafted back on to itself on the other creating pads with unusual growths/duplications. The plant loses no physical matter but experiences a reorganizing of its existing mass (in the landscapes its weight is shifted towards the slope, towards entropy). A wall with no mortar is built on the site, then moved imaginarily. The piece began as a study on my grandfathers aging body and his attempts to exert control.
