2001 Dealing
With Who You Are in the Morning Hour
Pursuits
are one of the larger themes of this work. Dealing With
Who You Are in the Morning Hour explores the question
of what the pursuits, destinations, and achievements are worth. These
works reference
a point in all of our
lives when we did, or did not, awake to deal with the tasks of the
day.

detail
from No New Messages Heater
hangs above ones head, with film at the viewer’s eye level.
Back-lit
film images were taken with an automated camera of the artist asleep
five minutes before the alarm clock went off, photographing
seven consecutive mornings. Heater at other end of piece
blows hot air from glowing wires onto the viewers head as
one looks up. The heater oscillates on and off. When the heater
turns back on, the viewer softly hears from the cell phone speakers
above each image the operator's voice saying,
"You
have no new messages
in your mailbox."
This
cycle is repeated continuously. |
