Project Description
Residency Dates: Fall 2008
Pae White explores issues of site and context, while blurring any boundary that may remain between art and design. White uses a range of genres and media, from fine art and product design to urban planning and architecture, to typography and graphics.

White's time at the FOR-SITE residency culminates in new work and an installation opening May 5 at New Langton Arts in San Francisco. The installation proposes new paradigms for art and landscape. Using a noninvasive data collection and mapping procedure, three-dimensional scans were taken of an 800 year-old massive oak tree, a wild raspberry bush, and a manzanita grove in the landscape. White used these topographical scans as conceptual source material, working with a DreamWorks animator and visual effects artist to create a series of color-treated, morphing animations.

White's work explores the nature of collections, from the rarefied and artistic to the humble. As a material rather than ethereal element of the installation, White incorporates ceramics drawn from the extensive collection of Joe Meade of Nevada City. Displayed en masse, these earthenware objects deconstruct the relationship between nature and culture.
