THEORY: 7.66 is a changing landscape: loss of canopy (trees reaching a high level) is resulting in greater light and new strategy, seeding a more dynamic structure. Observing experiencing and examining this landscape will inform creative ways of reaching new and existing audiences for the dispersal of educational environmental information and the seeding of strong personal connection to our global ecosystem.
hard sweet hard is a series of investigational walks:
01. in the woods (7.66) – solo walks, walks with those knowledgeable of the local ecosystem (ie ASITW Environmental Steward/Curator Dave Baker), walks in communication with others/general public, and with invited guests as available
02. in the surrounding environment (beyond 7.66 among the woods, along the Mississippi River and the area’s natural environment, connecting with the local parish and its residents),
03. and a performative distance walk connecting ASITW with Tulane University (the academic site of Environmental Studies) and the residents of the city of New Orleans.
DIALOGUE: hard sweet hard is a working dialogue of exchange between the artist and the public, especially residents of the area. in presentation, I would like to hold an open studio day, invite people on a public group walk in the woods, and give an artist’s presentation of walks taken and work completed during residency, to include a text piece and a sound work.
