Robert and Shana ParkeHarrison: The Architect's Brother by Robert Parkeharrison

diCorcia's curation of disparate photographs, from his early career to his first solo shows

I want to make images that have open, narrative qualities, enough to suggest ideas about human limits. I want there to be a combination of the past juxtaposed with the modern. I use nature to symbolize the search, saving a tree, watering the earth. In this fabricated world, strange clouds of smog float by; there are holes in the sky. These mythic images mirror our world, where nature is domesticated, controlled and destroyed. Through my work I explore technology and a poetry of existence. These can be very heavy, overly didactic issues to convey in art, so I choose to portray them through a more theatrically absurd approach. --Robert ParkeHarrison (born 1968)
