Description
In Fire and In Water presents two pairs of hands on the wall reaching upwards. They dissolve into coloured threads at the elbow: one set of hands in red pigmented threads and the other in blue.
This work has been transformed from the original works entitled Sondes, presented in the exhibition, Noeuds d’écoute/ Listening Knots, Oboro, Montreal, 2019.
Statement
In Fire and In Water is a comment on global warming and the growing climate disaster. Increasing wild fires and torrential rains and floods are bringing heavy costs to the environment and to human life – a situation we continue to either ignore or to wring our hands in worry and in the inability to act.
