Sourced from driftwood typically found on Block Island, an island 13 miles off the coast of Rhode Island, works in the DRIFT series represent the dialogue between the human and non-human worlds. As impermanent monuments, the sculptures are painted with colors found in the natural world, but with emphasis on rare configurations and striking combinations. The sculptures are also visual quips that seek to arrive at deeper, preverbal resonances between the earthly, natural, and wild, where Langlands believes more complex perspectives toward essence, experience, and value — especially humor — reveal themselves and draw out our less-guarded selves.
Playful, romantic, smart
