Ren茅 Lee Henry And Molly Koehn: Structural Dichotomy
鈥淪tructural Dichotomy鈥 is a collaborative project between Ren茅 Lee Henry and Molly Koehn. While both artists are interested in architecture and its intersection with nature, their interests differ in that Ren茅 is inspired by abandoned construction, while Molly focuses on new construction. This dichotomy present in their work and interests reflects Houston鈥檚 landscape which is derelict, crumbling and overgrown but also brand-spanking-new, clean, and manicured.
鈥淪tructural Dichotomy鈥 embraces these dichotomies of Houston鈥檚 fabricated environment, offering parallels between abandoned and claimed, natural and synthetic, stable and decayed, and strength and fragility.
In this installation, Ren茅 and Molly take an active part in the re-shaping of an environment, recognizing their roles in the shaping of Houston鈥檚 environment. They highlight the inherent tension of human intervention in the natural world, encouraging contemplation about what assumptions are made about our intertwined but rarely incongruous futures.
