In ‘Pardon our Progress’ Austin artist Joseph Phillips examines the landscape, and specifically our impact on nature through recent drawings, sculpture, and installation. The work investigates our tendency to supplant the infinite reality of nature with an over-simplified, commodified, streamlined or synthetic version. Delicate gouache, ink and graphite drawings bring to mind internet product shots, or cartoonish scientific renderings where all but the central sliver of subject has been removed, to be studied or dissected further.
