"Temperature is heightened in Trust The Ground. We are placed between an icy, cooling background, and a volcanic interior undergoing change and eruption. A violent birth seems imminent with so much growth and activity occurring. Tears, teeth, claws and ferns swarm the interior, threatening to break through the membrane. The entire painting is an homage to repetition; rivulets of tears, concentric figures, and echoed forms abound. They seem like stratum of lava: each one is violent and abrasive as it flows, but enough build up and cool to form a new ground that challenges our existing notions of stability, control, and trust." - Siobhan Hebron

Finding stability in the unfamiliar, learning to trust the ground. The Augmented Reality calls attention to and awakens sensations as the viewer interacts with the painting. In the AR element of the piece, the initial animation moves around the painting to see behind the main figure. When you engage with the four-pronged figure in the lower left corner by tapping on it, it initiates animation. You can also engage with the brain and base of the skull to initiate other activity.
