About the Item
"Invisible, Nauru Island" is part of the "Rare Earth" series of artworks related to the extraction of materials used in our modern technology. Each artwork includes an archival image of a specific mine rendered in classic 3D (anaglyph), off-registration, referencing mid-century exuberant optimism, geo-political history, cultural signifiers, symbolic design patterns and phenomena. They are built from a collection of found materials–fabrics, wallpapers, digital imagery, paint, and precious metals. The digital Landsat image is positioned in juxtaposition to the other compositional elements to create a disruptive collage/painting of spatial contradictions, surface/depth and multiple cultural interpretations. They are complex, beautiful and haunting in their examination of global consumption and innovation. This artwork was recently exhibited at Coastline College, Newport Beach, CA, one of twenty-three artworks in a solo exhibition. Over the past three years Michael Davis has had two solo exhibitions, built out two major installations for "The Color Exhibition" and "Uplifting Tales and Eroded Histories," both @ Angels Gate Cultural Center, and designed and built a permanent Studio/Lab, creative works space for the Laguna Art Museum.

Multi-National LLC’s
By Michael Davis
Located in Palm Desert, CA
LLC and mining operation being bought up at an alarming rate by international consortiums.
The Rare Earth artworks grew out of my investigative research in 2009 while working on a Smithsonian Artist Research Fellowship (SARF) application. That resulted in a body of work titled “Imagos”– photo/journalism images that capture a moment in history and immediately place the viewer at that moment in time.
While navigating Landsat records of Earth's land surfaces from space I discovered large areas of disturbed landscapes. These were immense open pit mines at numerous locations world wide, many of which were Rare Earth mines or REEs. The mining and processing to separate the rare earth elements is an environmental conundrum. On one hand these elements are in extremely high demand and necessary for electric vehicles...
