"Yeah the trees, those useless trees." -Pulp

Like excited lovers in the park, Sanditz and Isaacson carve their 2d and 3d marks into the sapwood just shy of the heartwood. The gouges swollen and distorted, unrecognizable like an overgrown tree bark and vandalism reabsorbed  by growth. In an attempt to reshape their own worlds via Statacco graffiti. Sanditz leaves a handwritten signature while Isaacson impresses a gestural implosion into clay. The pairing grew out of a dual interest in agricultural production and the overabundance of nature in the Midwestern landscape.
