Fault Line
Acrylic on Raw Canvas
Through color and allusions to the native California poppy and invasive black mustard species, this diptych serves as a conceptual approach. The work present commentary on the abrasive qualities of a metropolitan area and its effect of displacement and division by greed and the isolation by the American dream facade. The weight of environmental, classist and technological struggles is simplified by the relationship of native vs invasive plant species. Through the past three years, humanity has changed immensely. Many found going back to the roots of what truly matters has become a stronger theme now more than ever. The dance of nature’s path of native vs invasive is part of a larger picture.

“...remain true to myself. To make work that is undeniably me and uniquely my own. I hope to make things that move people, but if I make work just for others without putting myself in it, it won’t carry.”

JANELLE LLOYD ON MARLEIGH CULVER
“Marleigh Culver is a favorite artist of mine that Tappan features. I loved the name of this piece for my daughter’s eventual bedroom. It’s the question I ask myself pretty much every day when I look at her.”
