CHRIS MCGINNIS: Fragments no. 20
Chris McGinnis grew up in southwestern Pennsylvania during the waning years of America's post-war industrial paradigm. Shortly after his birth the steel mills closed and the coal industry consolidated. This region braced for an economic winter from which many communities have yet to emerge. As both artist and curator, McGinnis' research continually returns to notions of growth and decline relating to technology and the human experience. Projects inspired by this research chronicle the pursuit of progress and its effect on all facets of society, ranging from industry and community to science and entertainment. Iconography representing the abundance and promise of industrial modernism is reminiscent of a time when American optimism was specifically manifested in large-scale construction and the built environment.

something in the snow
Oil on canvas, 2014, 80 X 70 cm. "I found a dimpled spider, fat and white, On a white heal-all, holding up a moth Like a white piece of rigid satin cloth - Assorted characters of death and blight Mixed ready to begin the morning right, Like the ingredients of a witches' broth - A snow-drop spider, a flower like a froth, And dead wings carried like a paper kite. What had that flower to do with being white, The wayside blue and innocent heal-all? What brought the kindred spider to that height, Then steered the white moth thither in the night? What but design of darkness to appall? - - If design govern in a thing so small." Design, by Robert Frost. 1922.

A Pattern of Monstrosity
I hope that my work conveys some sense of the enigma of the human condition, the existential absurdity of life, and an appreciation for the mythologies in which we swaddle ourselves as proof against the unknown. Art is a way for me, a finite creature bowed beneath the weight of infinite mysteries, to wrangle this whole mess into something resembling a coherent philosophy.
