Mixed Media

Gates was originally conceived as the ‘Twelve Gates to the City’ as inspired by the song from Bruce Cockburn of that same name. However, as the work proceeded, a singular gate with its multiple layers of space and time seemed to be the priority. This mixed media work uses the Hereford Screen (Victoria & Albert Museum) and wall-shadows from its display as an architectural-structural-temporal reference synthesized with the ambiguity of space, time, and atmosphere in anticipation of what it might be like to travel through that gate as this world dissipates and another emerges.
