A simple piece of paper
My lines are a wordless language found in sound.
They spur me onto their destiny.
Mother Tongue
Paper is my semaphore
I loved creating this sculpture for the space, at Gallery Route One in Point Reyes Station. It worked perfectly. How yellow fills space, bouncing off of walls and onto viewers and how you can’t entirely encounter the piece. I began by unraveling a long role of rag paper onto my studio floor. Holding colored pencils in both hands I made random lines that became a wordless language found in sound. They spur me onto their destiny. I think of the slit in the sculpture as the place for the voice to be heard and for spirit to come through. Lighthouse consists of a suspended yellow sculpture with a sound track of recorded elements: Sandhill Cranes recorded at dusk in the Delta; wind harp recorded at the Exploratorium; stream recorded at Passing Cloud Lake in the Mendocino National Forest; waves and sand recorded at a beach near Timber Cove; and myself singing my Arroyan Song.
