  • city gallery day 7 and 8


    it has been difficult to really photograph this on the fly as the light in the space changes constantly with the sun and the reflected light from the water outside. I should be setting the lights in the next couple of days.


    it has been interesting for me to see this piece develop. in many ways it has become a lot like a torqued basket fed through some sort of photoshop filter. I like to think when i am working that it is a bit like a labor intensive version of the cloning tool inside the photoshop interface
    one of the great things about this space is the opportunity to work both high and low.

    this ended up being the best way to work on the under side of the piece.

    I am feeling better about the prospect of resolving this piece shortly. with each installation like this i reach a point where i have to trust the direction that the work is driving itself in and just follow that. I managed to bring the downstairs to a resolution and now i am teasing out the upper portions but not for too much longer since the show opens on friday and i still need to clean up the space and light it and then rest a little bit myself. I have been finding with this piece that the lessons i learned on the previous installations have been put into play and i hope in the future to use what i learned here. It is really interesting to see the learning curve on these since it has been such a drawn out process. With work that is portable and studio based i can come and go from it and see the changes develop much faster. When doing these site-specific, site-responsive pieces i really only get to learn from them when i do them. So where in a year I might make several objects and works on paper in the last three years I have only seen a handful of these installations realized, but am hopeful that i will get to see more in the future…
