Fields of Attraction - Stan Lamontagne

2012–2016

Like magnets, pulling and pushing away from each other — the series Fields of Attraction sits in the tension between built space and what grows back into it. Most of the time, concrete wins. But sometimes something resurges, adapts, finds a crack to live in. Out of this comes a certain fragility. Light draws the space; a plant grows where it shouldn't; the tension becomes its own kind of beauty.

I'm looking for what's inexorable in these forgotten places — an open-ended, poetic gaze on what happens where the wild and the built keep negotiating. Sometimes I find stability inside the impermanence itself.
