SHE

She is a line drawing, a character that emerged when I was training in animation storyboarding at the School of visual arts in New York. She is a normal female going about her business. The dog is Love/ Eros and is unbounded. He emerged when She started doing couples yoga. The series of mugs are them, a normal, run-of-the-mill couple trying this out.

“Shortly before sunrise the spirits of the night dance their last dance”. Interface Inagh

About the work

Shortly before sunrise, the spirits of the night dance their last dance, a site specific  illustration and video Installation.

The three part work, I made for Broken Vessels at Broken Vessels at Interface Inagh Galway Ireland, refers to the phrase “Entre Chein et Loup” (between the dog and wolf) – where there is a shift of consciousness between the real and the imagined.  

The title is a homage to Chris Watson Morgenchor’s (2021) spacial sound piece Shortly before sunrise, the spirits of the night dance their last dance. www.ruhrtriennale.de/en/programme/konzert-im-morgengrauen/36

Displaced by current circumstances I viewed the land and site through a telephone camera, emailed visual data and instructions for the work to be made remotely. It was a thrilling experience to have to work with this limitation as I am fascinated by how information moves and what effect this has on our consciousness. 

Part 1 is a QR code that will direct you to a video piece.  The video is of a Google Virtual Reality Golden Eagle hovering, surveying the hatchery and water towers.  Watching it and listening to the sound on your device you become a remote of the bird cries. Both the bird and the sound are simulacra drawn from an archive.

Part 2 is a vanishing image of a raptor that is printed onto reams of paper with one cartridge of ink until the ink runs out.  It is exhibited on pine shelves, which point to the forested area on the site.

Part 3 is a weathering composite image of illustrations of the Golden Eagle pasted onto the derelict shipping container in a forested area as you enter the property.

Charged and near to me. We are connected. I wake up with my phone next to me, I feel for it in my pocket or my bag. Always charged. Love online.
