Having grown up in Richmond, Virginia I had a sense of these bronze monuments being more than just images or representations but taking on the quality of infrastructure, embedding themselves into the meaning of the city and the function of the city and expanding out into a larger context. I started to wonder about the ways of going beyond a conversation around visibility and invisibility in terms of infrastructure and the way that bronze is present as a sort of infrastructural element in our everyday lives, our pedestrian lives, in a public way. So, (Untrustworthy Ground) is an inquiry into trying to find a new way of forming or experiencing bronze in public that can hopefully support a new way of relating to the material and relating to each other. — Wilmer Wilson IV
