Night Lands 3 is an immersive poetic exploration of our connection to the oceans and our dependency on the water cycle. The work is designed to be projected across 4 large screens,(5M wide by 3 M H) in a square configuration to impart the full scope of the nature of water and its presence in our lives. Elements of timespace, archeology, geology, and fossils are evident throughout the ever fleeting imagery.
Living in Florida, we are ever surrounded by and enriched by water, but also under occasional siege by it. The Anthropocene is now readily impacting our coastlines and this work was finished during Irma, the largest hurricane in recorded history! Conversely, on a recent foray into Utah, I was amazed by the role of water in shaping the canyons and mountains. The ancient is brought to the present. Geologic time contrasted with human experience!
I started creating portions of the work about two years ago which included collecting geological and mineral specimens and filming in Utah, Wyoming, Georgia, and Florida. I wanted to thank Brush Creek Center for the Arts in Wyoming and Hambidge Center in Georgia where I had artist residencies that allowed time and the environment to begin and end this project.
