Solo Exhibition finished June 3rd after showing for six weeks at Yukon Art Center, Whitehorse, Yukon.
The next step is to work at tour options through Arts and Culture Trade Commission located in Vancouver; help in locating what galleries to approach in Finland. The DVD promo reel will be out in September thanks to Martin Berkman for the raw footage and my son of tracepictures.com who will be doing the creative editing.
FOOT STEPS IN THE SNOW
Footsteps in the Snow, an experiential immersion into the intangible and tangible worlds of the Yukon winter environment. A winter world of colour, light, shape, movement, and sound complement the haunting energies faced in the solitude of winter’s ice fog, whiteouts and low lighting. The thoughts of Homer, Turner and Monet on atmospheric perspective resonate with the works. Monumental mural originals accompanied with short journal writings surround the viewer in a quiet power of the land. Vibrational sound clips |
of the Saami tonal sounds fading into selected pieces from Swan of Tuonela by the Finnish composer, Sibelius, are heard as subtle tones with headsets located in the central sitting area. The central installation of eight vertical and narrow plexi panels rotate with the flow of circulating air; shapes sandblasted on the plexi; the shadows teasing the viewer of spirit energies dancing in its environment. The central white seating area is the central point from which one gets glimpses of the surrounding images, listen to the music and be part of the seat of thought. An illusive mukluk of white deer hide will give form to beadwork located in the plexi dome atop the central kiosk; a tangible but elusive symbol of a spirit walk, as Footsteps in the Snow.
