Recede: Steel, milkweed. 10'x3'x3'
“What is that feeling when you're driving away from people and they recede on the plain till you see their specks dispersing? – it's the too-huge world vaulting us, and it's good-bye. But we lean forward to the next crazy venture beneath the skies.” - Jack Kerouac
Recede employs milkweed to reflect the impact of global climate change and environmental fragility on an intimate level. As sculptural planes and lines adjust with time, this deceptively formal piece explores the complexity of humanity’s containment of nature.
"Garon’s show is an innovative and relatively new expansion of context and content which could have stood on its own as art as art, but Garon has taken on a far deeper task with art that can be amplified by its sources, market, and cultural impact."
-Lucy Lippard



"Garon employs decaying natural artifacts primarily as symbols of humanity's fragility. But her contrasts of hard and soft intrigue the eye as well as the mind."
​-Mark Jenkins, The Washington Post
