Ryan Estep

Sterilized Dirt RDE 5D BA1

Ryan Estep's *Sterilized Dirt RDE 5D BA1* presents a tension between the natural and the clinical, suggesting earth stripped of its organic vitality through some process of purification or control. The work's coded, systematic title implies a methodical approach, as though cataloguing or classifying material that resists such rigid categorization. Estep invites viewers to consider the paradox of rendering something inherently wild and alive into a state of sterile order.
