Water Simulations
Video Installation, Three channel video, 00.05:00 (loop), 2016
This work was created during my residency at the NSCAD Studio Community Residence in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. Immersed in a place shaped by sailing, boatbuilding, and maritime life, I became absorbed by the water - spending hours observing and documenting its rhythms and shifting surfaces.
Inspired by Yoko Ono’s Sky TV, which transposes the act of cloud gazing onto a screen in the gallery through a live feed of the sky, this piece reflects on the practice of “water-gazing.” Here, however, the experience is reimagined as a simulation, composed of three moving photographs of the bay.
The accompanying soundscape (accessible via icon below) layers whistles, hums, breath, and the rustle of fabric to echo the wind moving across the sea—a murmuring simulation of water and air within the stillness of the gallery.
