​​​​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 sea - spending hours observing and documenting its rhythms and shifting surfaces.

 

This work is inspired by Yoko Ono’s Sky TV, which transposes the act of cloud gazing onto a screen within an enclosed room via a live video feed of the sky. Water Simulations reflects on this similar practice of “water-gazing.” Here, however, the experience is reimagined as a simulation, in which three still photographs of the bay are gently animated through a 'wave warp' effect.

The accompanying soundscape (accessible via icon below) layers whistles, hums, breath, and the rustle of fabric to echo the wind moving across the sea - simulating the murmurations of water and air.​
