Hello this is Becky Wareing Steele, and you are looking at Portal from the series "Models for Future Altars”. This new artistic exploration deals with our ever evolving relationship to nature. Looking towards a not so distant future when we'll have to deal with our over production and consumption of plastics and reconcile our relationship with the natural world.
The base of Portal is comprised of excess resin I’ve poured into a discarded plastic form over the last year. The stairway is made up of bread tags that have been hand-cut into smaller segments and assembled to flow through the circular wood formation. Placing nature at the center of the work.
