"This work started after I took a fall off a rooftop I was helping to build. It was the kind of fall that I should have had a more major injury from or could have had. But not even a broken rib. When I hit the ground, I broke a 2 x 4” piece of wood with my head. The outcome of the head injury was to become incredibly sensitive to the death end of the life cycle.It was the peak part of the season here in Vermont. The leaves had become as red as they would and were starting to become compost. So, some of this work will be about falling, both literal falling and figurative falling, about the feeling of falling. We are all falling, all approaching that thing that will eventually take our lives. We are all eventual compost. There is a beauty to this, this falling that we are all doing. Gravity is the great leveler, pulling us all toward this body we collectively occupy and toward our eventual duty to it, to return our bodies to it."- Will Rogan
