Posited by Physical Agency /Site/Sight


In this collaboration with artist Brad Chernoff at the Burnaby Art Gallery, we looked at ancient sacred sites, temples, and the sighting of the Oracle. We also looked at the desert landscape in terms of colour and broad vistas and in my work the notion of swiftly traversing the planet in flight. We created a temple-like structure and painted a floor canvas and the back wall of the gallery to enhance the sense of the earth and horizon while also relating to the site-specific architectural features of the gallery. We hoped the viewer experienced a sense of an elevated perspective on a flight path and sacred landing sites. Coupled with that are a series of Site/Sight Icons that relate to the sense of altered viewing of the various sites.
