Icebox
The premise surrounding the exhibition Filmic for the Iris Group was to expand upon the concept, “what to do with the 35 mm film in our refrigerator or negatives stored away, pictures of people and places from the past”.
I connected my work to the exhibition with images of drawings and photographs I created on site in the Badlands of Alberta, north of Drumheller, Alberta in Horse Thief Canyon.
They are documented archetypes that then dissolve, washed or blown away by wind and rain or covered with rock. The couplings of the two pairs of photographs are documentations of work in the same location one year apart. The drawings and photographed sculpture are images reflecting past creatures lying beneath the layers of sedimentary rock.
I used a 1940’s Icebox inserting a digital photo frame in the top where the ice was original put, responding to the location of many fossils buried and preserved in ice as well as the initial premise of the exhibition. I chose this area to display videos and stop motion film of the body of work “Existence” Alien in Alberta.
