      There 
        is a fictional American Tale that when our first U.S. president, George 
        Washington, was a young boy, he chopped down a cherry tree, an act considered 
        destructive and disrespectful. But Washington told his father the truth, 
        indicating his early capacity for moral judgment and bravery.  
         
        LOG looks at the dismembered system of dominance that America 
        established with its own raw capital. It examines the fuel and prosperity 
        of American wilderness stored within severed segments of chopped trees 
        anticipating potential ruptures to its own constitution. 
         
        There is an ambivalence with being an American. There is a sense of belonging 
        to a country so bountiful, so wildly true and saturated with promise and 
        hope. Yet there is also insurmountable consumption and a reliance on fuel 
        outside of our own means. As our structure breaks and folds, we must ask 
        what America is really built on, what holds it up, and what really is 
        the distinction between our founding father and our foundations.  |
