Mercury Moon investigates the tension between regimented order and organic growth. Using certain tropes of science fiction such as a space station, alien landscapes, and a futuristic city, Mercury Moon presents the viewer with a place of magic and imagination. In this world, glittering plants grow from lunar energy and cities are reconstructed from ice formations. Addressing concepts of destruction and growth with balls of cotton and plastics, Mercury Moon mirrors patterns found within nature and human society. By depicting these patterns using whimsical spaces and objects, the humor, poetry and inevitable humanism radiates throughout these technological spaces.
