gifts from the sasquach
Friday, May 19th, 2006I’d like to invite you all to come view my new art installation this weekend entitled "Gifts From the Sasquach". The piece includes a 2-3 person tent smeared with real feces surrounded by various found objects including drift wood, a dead bird, a geode, and dung mixed with items that the creature would possibly eat including leaves and berries and nuts, all arranged outside the tent as if in offering. Guests are invited to sit inside the tent while they listen to the artist emit hoots and howls approximating the sounds of the elusive beast. The piece examines unobtainable desires, regret, and guilt as the viewers are left to find order and purpose in the "gifts" left by their would be "benefactor" whose very existence and reality are suspect.
