Along a similar vein as our current obsession with snowbound thoughts and snowbound creations, is Fieldwork's current winter installation called 'Winter Gestures/Beacon Whispers' by Susie Osler now in progress.
Fieldwork is a rural, public art project that presents site-specific art installations each season in a field in Eastern Ontario for passers-by to stumble upon, discover, journey to, and explore. A new installation is created each season by one of the 'fieldworkers' (artists) addressing ways of relating to the space - conceptually, spiritually, formally, economically, playfully, etc.
Winter Gestures explores the psychological and physical realms of winter. The field of snow acts as both the canvas for, as well as the subject of gestures or suggestions. This part of the project responds to winter as it unfolds both on the land, and in the artist's psyche. The dead tree erected in the field is the beacon or receiver of inspiration and gratitude. Throughout the winter, the Beacon is accumulating objects representing gratitude and inspiration.
The field site is located 15 minutes west of Perth in Brooke Valley and is open to the public year round to visit. This installation also has opportunities for the public to participate. See the fieldwork blog site at www.fieldwork.blogsome.com for further details.
