“In a sense, the construction of these bushes (in their dissolution of form and their tumultuous placement) reflects the turmoil of contemporary urban reality where one feels a sense of confusion— a decline in the order of things, a profound sense of loss, vulnerability, and a lack of ‘centeredness’.”

- Maren Hassinger, 1981

The installation of On Dangerous Ground was meant to intimidate, infringe, and threaten. Fifteen industrial bushes tightly packed, their thorny vegetation spiky and towering, forced the visitor to traverse with caution. Dimly lit, the bushes and their shadows played on our perception of things seen, unseen, and half-seen. Gallery Six, a space already narrow and claustrophobic, became a site of nature gone mad.
