"I
was imbued, early on, with both a faith in technology and an
appreciation
of nature. In my work, natural energy collides with human energy
to
unpredictable effect. The duality of images I employ -- nature
scenes
superimposed on scientific or mechanical diagrams -- suggests the
tension
between nature and technology in ways that are ambiguous and often
disturbing.
Technology is destroying nature, yet if nature is to survive at all, it will be through the intervention of technology. In reconciliation lies our salvation. It's not about making a judgment. It's looking at the balance that would create something workable. It's establishing the right equation." Marlaina Deppe |
