‘Tension builds and is released with a breath.’ Concrete is a material used for centuries past, with a long history full of context and narrative. The smooth, highly detailed surfaces will be placed into this contemporary setting as an unexpected encounter. It should not disrupt the landscape, but perhaps interrupt a part of it. Its durability means it is long-lasting, manifesting a journey of its own. We the audience are observing this legacy, the site and its surroundings, and our impact on the environment and culture of a place.
‘Think about how the things around you grow, are created, evolve, break down … entropic entities existing.’ The exchange between art – artist – audience – space provides an intimate yet shared aspect to the work. The accompanying audio encourages the viewer to take time and listen. Think of your journey to this place, around this place, to the here and now. Still standing, Standing still invites the audience to establish a collective context. Art is a universal language and also a unique experience as our interpretations are affected by knowledge and environment. Take this time to pause; feel the ground beneath.
