With the words of the artist Sam Jacob, "Against Nature uses antique prints of neolithic monuments and found landscape oil paintings as sites with abstract geometries painted into and onto them. These ‘found’ representational sources come freighted with their own cultural meanings and histories so the new additions work against that ground. The works, I think, are about the ways in which different ideologies, different conceptions of reality—as expressed through arrangements of stones or images of landscape—fundamentally change the nature of the world. “Nature” itself is as much an ideological construct as it is a found condition."
