Spring Is In The Air

“Sometimes you just gotta lighten up,” Andy says. After finding a discarded mattress in the woods, he disassembled it and played off the implied buoyancy of the springs to cast a commentary on our cultural resistance to simply leaning into the changing of the seasons, and moving with their currents instead of resisting them. The body of the piece is deliberately reminiscent of the figure of atomic bombs, a figure on which the springs are balanced. Life is precarious, but the only way through is to keep “light.”
