Useless Abuse, James Aaron Cadotte

James Aaron Cadotte’s painted panels assert “The Land will always persist…despite our own atrocities and beauties.” A pattern of gray cracks contrasts with colorful flora. They hint at the life forces pushing back against our sidewalks, structures, and streets and bear witness to humankind’s attacks on the land. Splattered red paint stirs up ideas of death and loss, but also of life and regeneration.
