Trees at Sea, 2001

2001 from installation: Trees at Sea: below, above, drown, swim
A twelve-minute video loop places a millennial image/object forest of trees and people, as well as the viewer, below and above the sea, evoking both the precariousness and wonder of the journey. Video projection onto mirror below and up to ceiling.
In the gallery two enemy forests face each other on either wall. Thousand-year-old trees root on either shore. For a thousand years, war. In between, a mirrored pool reverses heaven and earth, projecting a video of the roiling below and above. People come and go. Adopteds, vets, war brides, those who return home. Trees fall into water, dugout for the journey. Tree ladders reach to Heaven we can climb our way up or down. Four standing glass portraits circle the mirror pool, standing in for the countless adopteds, vets, and for those who have returned home.
