FROM UNDERNEATH
Gail Grinnell and Samuel Wildman
Oxbow Residency Georgetown Seattle
September 2018
Recommended by “the Stranger” Art Events
In Seattle during WWII, fake trees, fake buildings, and fake neighborhoods were created by Hollywood set designers to camouflage wartime manufacturing from foreign adversaries. Our show at Oxbow takes as its starting point the faithful re-creation of a few of the fake trees, removed from their original context.
Our re-creation of these trees at Oxbow is meant to be seen from underneath, rather than above, where the materials we used can be most easily distinguished from the overall form intended. From up close, any real attempt at the illusion of a tree falls apart and what the viewer experiences instead are rough and provisional materials clinging to some recycled timbers– the sole representatives of a forest.
