Bodies of Water
The first print here is an embossment of the Company Glacier path, carved into birch plywood this June, in Stehekin. The process of embossing entails pressing damp paper into a block to take on its sculptural qualities. Without color, the this print traces a water body of which we, flowers, lightbulbs and orchards are the downstream organs. A three minute cascade of sounds follows the image. Let your eye and ear simultaneously trace the trees and wires bleeding from the current. Imagine this place as a sponge, where water is the common medium for all - orchardist, phytoplankton, marmot, mountaineer, tardigrade. Meltwater springs, sings and sloshes from the glacier to the lake, enlivening everything along its path.
