ARTIST STATEMENT

Forgotten Grotto (Nick and Dakota)

The future. Humanity has decided that a car-reliant, non-dense living city was the ideal direction they wanted to go. And thus, The Suburb was created, an endless sea of shingles and roads that extends much further than you are allowed to know. Somewhere in this abyss is a forest, dense with life and nature, unremembered. It is only small, perhaps an acre or two, and it would like everybody to know that it is not a park, and not a reserve. It simply cannot be remembered and thus cannot be paved.
