ARTIST STATEMENT FROM A BRIGHT GOLDEN HAZE ON THE MEADOW:
I feel disconnected from nature, and I sense I am not alone. I am surrounded by plastic, glass, steel and concrete. I spend more time in front of a flickering screen than I do outdoors. The bright golden haze on the meadow is controlled by a corporation, and my inability to access the unadulterated landscape makes me incredibly nostalgic.
A Bright Golden Haze on the Meadow was created for Concept/OK, a triennial exhibition of Oklahoma Visual Arts Coaliton, and curated by Liza Statton. Additional images and video available at ROMYOWENS.CONCEPT-OK.ORG.
