FALL/FLOW is a multi-media installation with crystal beaded and white string screens, video projection, and sound. Growing out of a series of works that explored life’s thresholds, transitions, and passages, this work also features the idea of integrating the viewer within the video image, conjuring up the experience of immersion in the natural world. Viewers pass through traversable and transmutable veils alive with softly descending images that invoke the tranquility and fragility of the element of water. The piece embodies, with its constant downward motion, a sense of inevitability or constancy -- inferring a natural order that proceeds without human intervention or will – calling up a kind of acquiescence in relation to forces beyond human or individual control that can also be a conscious affirmation. A range of metaphorical associations are awakened and welcomed in a subtle way through faintly seen text incorporated throughout the changing montage of projected imagery that appears subtly within the main image of falling water and light. Evocative sound suggests human voices expressing emotional longing and spiritual promise.
