Best Laid Plans by Katie Garth
$40.00
Within a childhood story about a personal tendency for order, the artist considers the merits of planning, asking for what each of us may be preparing. The work explores daily routine as a coping mechanism for chaos and uncertainty, depicting disembodiment as an abstract and ethereal escape. While the narrative empathizes with the impulse to withdraw, it underlines the comforting appeal of familiar objects and mundane rituals, examining what is lost in retreat.
