A black and white photograph of a lit sparkler jetting out sparks with a small American flag behind it. A pyramid-shaped prism hangs in the black sky above the sparkler and the flag. There is a vertical geometric structure on the right made of squares, cylinders, and rectangles with a light-colored oval floating on top of it.

“It’s a reflection in the work of my contending with the everyday realities of this world. So, there are those days and moments and times when it feels as though things are about to come down. And there are those moments, admittedly, a lot of the time when I’m making the work, where I feel as though I’m somewhere else and I’m transported elsewhere.”

Chase R. McCurdy in Conversation with Erica Vital-Lazare (Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art, 2021)
