a temporary installation on both
sides of noon at
Buttermilk Falls... Buttermilk Falls or Nevele Falls, Ellenville, NY
(approximate 50' drop at the main falls in background)... this art piece
is
about 8' x 20' as an entire spread laid flat and is an assemblage of 123
paintings ("labels") done over the past year with beeswax and natural
pigments on recycled labeled cardboard box flaps of various
dimensions... they
are tied together with hemp twine allowing an overall flexibility
for/with
installations at different waterfall sites... the Eastern slopes of the
Shawangunk and Catskill Mountains West of the Hudson River in New York
State.
I've decided to also be looking at Falls in MA, in the Pioneer Valley
and
Berkshires over the summer with my travels... I'm researching about 70
waterfalls... I’ll photo and video document this process/ional... with
using biodegradable
materials the installation work will culminate at the bottom of the last
installation and/or be recycled and/or shown and offered as individual
labels
w/hemp as separate art works, photos/videos with possible book format
when
funding becomes available… this will relate much with my painting
construction's process with Waterfall installation wear and tear. with
its'
eventual return to Earth with the Fall... ~this is a collaborative with
Nature~
Water falls are an oxygenating and cleansing geographical phenomena with
Light/Air(Ether), Fire, Color, Earth, Water and Sound healing properties
acknowledged with its' placement in varying spaces defined by the
waterfalls...
this is the link to the first installation at High Falls in High Falls,
NY.
