Another Day In The Frontal Lobe (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
I first saw Goldsworthy’s work at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, a small fine museum in La Jolla, California. I had been a fan of this artist’s books for years. His books feature photos of his ephemeral creations, assembled with unprecedented creativity from objects in nature, like fall leaves carefully chosen along a color spectrum, fastened together in line with twigs or thorns, and allowed to float down a river. The leaf line eventually falls apart by the force of the river.I was eager to see his work in person. The La Jolla exhibit featured organic objects, like large stones covered in a thick layer of clay, displayed right on the museum floor. The clay was applied while moist, and as these structures became drier and drier over days and weeks, they started to develop deep cracks along their surfaces. Over the period of the exhibit, the cracks extended all the way through, fragmenting the clay and further exposing the stones underneath. It was a haunting demonstration of impermanence.Goldsworthy played to a similar theme in his various series of snowballs.
