the
53-foot mural of exposed roots and tangled branches, Boston-based artist Ethan Murrow shows
an energetic construction site manned by human workers, who heave their
materials and balance across taught ropes,
in a
statement, Murrow explains that his scenic works are rooted in United
States history and culture,
“As our world leaks
and creaks forward, landscape can act as the ultimate term and representation
of the joys and foibles of our actions. Landscape is an aesthetic ideal, an
edited view of reality that suits the maker—in essence, a fiction. For me, the
word has come to define our use of images and stories to convince ourselves of
who we are, what we know to be true, and what we wish was fact”
many of Murrow’s projects that are concerned with historical narratives and human progress can be found on Instagram, what a novel idea to show humans constructing a part of the natural world.
