Kelly West Statement

Debris has been thrown to the wayside, left to depreciate in city streets, parking lots and empty fields; weather erodes, machines trample, dust covers, and uncovers. No longer useful, consumer items accumulate in corners and highways in and through urban areas and in water passages. Everything molts, either naturally, or culturally. I blend and compile these textures into building something that for me, is either an exorcism or a celebration.

Sheika Lugtu statement

Despised and Disposed. Evidence of rot surrounds us, disgusts us, blinds us. Embrace the beauty, the many forms of decay.

Kimo's revised Statement

An emotion obsolete an isolation of life.

Flourishing thoughts induce chaos.

Youthful minds blossom

from their dead.

I'm sick of rot

Who's to oppose?

Luis Moreno Statement

In Clancy, I was flirting with the courtship between man and eternity. I systematically tore and burned the pages of the book Without Remorse to create a dialogue with the author's romanticization of war and deterioration. Using different archival mediums, I rearranged the book keeping to my desire to illustrate the effects of destruction and neglect.

ROT - Official Exhibition Card

Gens ROT Statement

We have all defined rot, in its different forms to view. The beginning, always has an outcome to complete. I state rot, as putrefied until there are bits of nothing left to disappear.
