In Hole in One Jaime Rodriguez Crespo studies the unnoticed intrusion of human involvement in nature amongst natural objects. Just as a golf course consists of an artificial landscape made up of natural elements, the artist creates a bird’s nest that has obviously succumb to human imposition due to its size and placement as a site-specific sculpture. The similarity that exists between the two eggs and the golf ball also addresses the artificial nature of the landscape: as a synthetic object blends in with organic elements.

Through mosaic patterns, Miruna Dragan’s Fertile Void IX: Infinite Prosperity produces a contradictious parallel form of perspective were the reflection of the mirrors provide an equal opening to two of the farthest points of our existence, up in the sky and into the abyss.The ninth piece in the series Fertile Void, possibly the last, persuaded Dragan to surround its meaning with the mysticism of the number nine.

“In golf, the term “rough” identifies a part of the course where the grass is much more abundant. It also identifies the hardships turtles are going through in this century. The term explains how our modern lifestyle has inflicted severe ecological changes that have affected them as marine specie. The idea of the “tour” is to walk through the holes in the course and find a variety of geometric patterns inspired by the designs and protuberances that turtles have on their shells.”

Alternative Nature was composed of the digital prints of several tropical fruits inside acrylic mirror boxes. These boxes were scattered around an area in the golf course of Dorado Beach allowing the surrounding nature to serve as a canvas. This characteristic allowed for the spectators to act as an element of the installation, thus creating an interrelationship between the artwork and the spectators.
