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.
