If You Lived Here You’d Be Home By Now | Counsel Langley
If You Lived Here You'd be Home By Now is a scifi imagining of the raw, nascent beginnings of the epoch that will immediately follow the Anthropocene. A time of beauty and menace, thrills and mistakes, it is inherently hopeful in that it imagines a distant future in which we are not only still here, we have managed to work together as one–as the star stuff we all are.
I work right at the edge of abstraction, allowing drips, pours, flow and scatters to be both simply themselves and also represent natural elements–weather, water, clouds, smoke, atmosphere...And I use architects’ tools, templates and compasses to draw controlled lines, concentric circles, grids, repetitive dots, a mountain range of triangles...which reflect structures and infrastructures that we build.
