The North Eastern Oracle (an installation)
Summer 2017
BRANCHES FOUND IN FOREST, RECYCLED FABRICS FROM "SKILLS" THRIFT STORE IN SKOWHEGAN, ME, , HEMP STRING, SCRAP LUMBER, 2x4s, MAHOGANY WOOD STAIN, PACKAGING MATERIALS, MASON JAR, COPPER PIPING AND ACCESSORIES, CHARCOAL, BUTCHERS PAPER, VARIOUS NUTS, BOLTS, AND IRON RINGS
*Northeastern Oracle is a multi-medium installation consisting of a large sculptural object that spreads out onto the walls and floor of the studio space from its doorway/portal-like center near a large window looking out over a cow field in rural Maine. In actuality, the directional lines of the sculptural component of the installation spread even further; out of the studio doorway and across the small lawn outside and then into the nearby forest where they entwine themselves around a rotting tree. This entanglement occurs about 12 yards southwest of the studio entrance. The other part of this specific installation consists of a video projection which includes various depictions of the surrounding natural environment as well as footage that depicts the line-work of the sculpture itself extending outside of the studio and around the rotting tree. This projection is mapped onto the surface of the doorway/portal portion of the sculptural component. The image and video documentation below consists of:
1.) Photos of the sculptural installation
2.) The video piece that was projected onto the sculptural component
3.) Video documentation of the video piece being projected onto the sculptural component.
The projection of the video piece (and its accompanying sounds) onto the sculptural
component completes the installation which I have entitled, The Northeastern Oracle.
