The Imaginary Wasteland
Richard Heller Gallery is proud to present The Imaginary Wasteland, an
exhibition of small scale sculptural work by artist Jeremy Mora. This
exhibition will run October 14, 2006 through November 11, 2006. An opening
reception will take place on Saturday October 14th at 5:00pm.
In regard to the work presented during this exhibition the artist states, "These
objects have been created in response to, or as a product of, my interest in
the tradition of the Miniature. Bonsai, dollhouses, dioramas, architectural
models, and model trains… a small fraction of the vast realm of the miniature
- these all serve as man-made representations of an untouched, utopianized
environment. They are idealized settings that are built, maintained,
manipulated and monitored by people. They embody a system of complete
control over a ‘natural’ environment - something that is certainly an important
topic of discussion for our contemporary context. My interest in creating
small-scale objects/places lies in the relationship between the conceptual
underpinnings of the idealized miniature and the evolving relationship
between man and nature. My intention is that the finished objects may serve
as historical reflections, as well as subtle predictions of a questionable
future.'
Born and Raised in Arizona, Mora currently lives and works in Downtown
Los Angeles in the Arts District.. You can learn more about Jeremy Mora at:
