June
21st 2006. Renowned multimedia artist Matthew Barney’s exhibition,
featuring the film “Drawing
Restraint 9” starring Barney and Bjork, and related photography,
drawings, and sculpture. Waterlily Pond created a large-scale organic
materials installation
inspired by the film, which traces the progression of materials and
people as they change substance and form. Our interpretation of this
process centers on Wood. From seed, to tree, to sawmill, and on to driftwood
and charcoal, Wood is found at
discreet moments in its material life, and forms a spatial composition
suggesting the narrative of birth, life, and transformation. Vibrant
flowers allude to the vitality that shapes this experience. |
