The Leaving and the Left, A Celebration of Love and Loss – Artist Statement

Rusty metal, worn wood, decayed wires. Love, when it first sparks, burns hot. Love needs heat to form, just as metal does, and glass. If the fire burns too hot, it burns itself out. When allowed to cool, it forms a solid recognizable thing that is affected by the ravages of time, and becomes more beautiful as it is exposed to the elements.

The Leaving and the Left – A Celebration of Love and Loss

The Leaving and the Left – A Celebration of Love and Loss, the newest project by Marc Moss, aims to to disassemble language in an attempt to rebuild it again, using new understandings, insights and lifelessons. Built with rusty metal, bits of telephone wire, scrap glass and old tatters of love letters and emails, this collection explores collective memory in a celebration of what once was, what is, and what is yet to come.
