Artist's
Statement
The focal point of this work will be the rogue sounds it produces. My
intention is to introduce a mysterious disturbance to a visitor’s
normal experience in this peaceful place. I wish to celebrate the possibilities
of experiencing elements of the past, and to stimulate our innate quest
for the unknown and metaphysical. The eerie sounds of long-since vanished
events will float above the line between lake and shore between 3:00 and
9:00 each evening. The variety of sounds may range from something recognizable,
such as a Victorian picnic, to the unrecognizable and mysterious. The
sounds will be recreated vestiges of the past.
My work deals
with applied technology and the numerous devices that are ever-evolving
and intermingle with our lives. Some of the work I do is in the spirit
of reconciliation between us and the device. This project will utilize
energy derived from the sun via a photovoltaic solar array.
