River Crossing

A work made for GNAP (Global Nomadic Art Project) 9 day residency on the River Dart, Dartington, Devon, UK. The residency was called `The Ephemeral River’. All work had to take its inspiration from the River or the theme of water, and to be short-lived. The logging track through the forest appeared not to have been used for many years, and could almost be imagined as a old dried up river bed. The plastic sheet had the same width as the track. This was suspended at right angles, crossing the track. Having not dissimilar visual qualities as water, I imagined it as a sheet of water lifted from the river bed.
