Waters of a lower register
Waters of a Lower Register is an immersive 5-channel film installation that uses the material of land—and the histories and tensions carried within—as a metaphor to reflect the range of emotions that the tumultuous year of 2020 manifested locally and globally. The film, full of natural beauty and motion, intersperses swirling landscapes and atmospheric sounds, reorienting up and down and moving between quiet and frenetic, contemplative and chaotic. Infusing the installation’s built environment of New York with imagery from the artist’s native North Florida, the environment transitions and shifts from paradisiacal to tense. In juxtaposing the natural world’s wonder and challenges, particularly with the rhythms of a city in cataclysm, we are reminded that the land holds all that we experience, past and present.
