RE-IMAGING TIME
ABSTRACT
In spring 2017 I was invited for a Theodore Randall international Chair at New York State College of Ceramic Art, School of Art and Design, Alfred University.
I here had to do Art research /an art project – as well teaching a Junior 2 System class, supervise and give critique of grad Students and attend meetings.
This page is presenting my art project LINES OF MEMORIES – Re imaging time-Fragment 1 out of 5 fragments all together.
FRAGMENTS ONE
A reflection on the nature of time and narrative telling of local history digested through own personal interpretation hereof.
With a curiosity of memories, founding’s and fragments or artifacts as background for constructed historical narration
I here dig into the history of USA, the history of the local village and my own personal history visiting Alfred NY USA 2017.
I am an artist my intention is not to be an historian nor an archaeologist.
And part of the soil is called to wash away
In storms and streams shave close and gnaw the rocks.
Besides, whatever the earth feeds and grows
Is restored to earth. And since she surely is
The womb of all things and their common grave,
Earth must dwindle, you see and take on growth again
The earth is forced into transformations, that each year make its marks into its surface,
and the scenery with its smells, its sounds, hap-tic and visual representation met the first primitive people,
the Seneca American Indians, The new Settlers,
the villager and the visiting students as well as faculty of the universities today as well as me just passing by.
We are all marked by that. The nature, landscape and its transformation.
