The space between things...again... a reoccurring theme in my work. this time, an ode to the wind. more precisely the sounds that occur in the interaction between wind and branches.
rattle, swoosh, howl! If it were color what would it be? will you feel it if i paint it for you?
my proposal...
in a little room in a corner room of the convent, i will build an environment inspired by the sounds of wind through the branches of trees. I will project stills of wintery bare trees onto the walls, and draw in the negative spaces between the branches with metallic pencil lines. there will also be several sculptures made of branches and string along with a screen in the middle of the room, with an image of a bare tree and it's mirror reflection projected onto it. during the performance i will stand behind the screen and paint the spaces between the branches with colored inks that will emerge through the front of the screen.
I am so grateful to have Helena Espvell (Fursaxa, Espers) playing the cello with the installation-sliding strings against strings-creating a kind of "windy" sound wave with loops and pedals. i'll riff off of what I hear from her, and hopefully the room and images and my performance would feed her sounds as well...
there will be a lot of sounds happening in the building, but we will have scheduled times for the performance aspect of the piece. 2 performances each night, maybe a 1/2 hour long. I don't want to set anything in stone because i've never done anything like this before, and i don't know how it will all come together....maybe we will perform for a longer if we are feeling it...i'm not sure...you will have to come see for yourself!
the Sequence of Waves at St Cecelia's Convent will happen on Friday, January 28th and Saturday January 29th. more information later as far as performance times and details! also check out http://www.doot.com/cecilia/ to check out what other artists are making
......here is a study of the film i will be projecting and painting on...loops and loops of still images creating color wave patterns
