Spring has Sprung
The plum tree blossoms will soon turn to dark red leaves; the plums will be ready by the end of May. Last year I climbed out on to the roof to pick the plums on the high branches. This year, I would like to catch them as they fall - bedsheets? Netting? What do orchards use? Off for a bit of Spring Break research.
Krzysztof Wodiczko
Krzysztof Wodiczko's newest installation, . . .OUT OF HERE: The Veterans Project. . .a visual and aural narrative conveying the complex psychological and emotional impact that combat has on both military personnel and civilians. Based on interviews and encounters with veterans and civilians from Iraq and Afghanistan.
. . .a darkened gallery space, the only source of light projections of horizontal windows along the perimeter towards the ceiling. . .inside looking out. . .innocuous sounds daily life - a child bouncing a ball, women calling to each other, a truck stopping and unloading - interrupted by sounds of gunfire and active combat.
Flame, a video with sound recording of an attack on a U.S. convoy in Afghanistan. The work depicts a solitary flame flickering in synch with the sounds of the attack.

"Coming full circle is movement without displacement.
In that time, you simply are, and all change is in the looking."
