Site 7: Light Table Design Collective Seattle, Washington http://www.thelighttable.com/ "Ancient Emergent" The word “acclimatize” calls to mind change, adaptation and evolution. Since life’s beginnings with prehistoric creatures emerging out of the primordial goo, species have bent to a changing world. With the accelerated climatic change happening in the world today, how will our and other species adapt? Will we proceed unchanged or will we shift, mutate, metamorphose? Or perhaps we will die out and make room for another era of creatures or beasts. The work that we have created for Heaven and Earth is a series of three figures musing on the idea of evolution and adaptation. We intend to locate the first figure in the riparian zone edging Carkeek Creek and the second in the upland forest. These may be joined in time by a third figure on the beach. Creeping from the salty bath of our beginnings, through the sun-dappled, amphibious wetland and up into the shadowy forest, our installations use native materials, or materials physically similar to those endemic to the region. In them, we imagine figures born of site and circumstance, emerging materially and bodily from the very specific environment of Carkeek Park. Are these figures prehistoric or post-historic? Ancient or emergent? Are they what came before or what is yet to come? How did we get here? Where are we going?
