o Description: Identity Crisis comments on our fascination with mineral formations as reflected in the aesthetics of residential construction finishes, which either incorporate natural stone or aspire to its look and feel. In Identity Crisis, faux-finished slabs of concrete are reassembled using home construction materials to achieve an inverse aim, paying tribute to the natural formations that inspired them in the first place. Like Robert Lorie's other work, this project prompts us to reconsider accepted notions of authenticity, beauty, and aesthetic purpose. Identity Crisis invites us to linger at the boundary between nature and artifice, challenging us to question where one ends and the other begins.
