A Sack of Dirt suggests a way of thinking about painting through ‘a sack of dirt’. A sack of dirt contains soil, dust, and grime, it can be both fertile and toxic, life-sustaining and life-threatening—a fact same to painting. It is never a tomb, a monument, or a dead thing. It is a tangible carrier of growth, circulation, and decay. It presents a particular reality—an inescapable and unsettling materiality. To be reminded that we are essentially a hybrid of organic and inorganic matter, much like a painting—a container of pigments, a carrier of stories, existing within a liminal space, akin to a sack of dirt.
