Environment, Memory & Things
This video installation is a collaboration between artist Garth Evans, writer Leila Philip, and video artist Siobhan Landry. It is based on the book, Water Rising, (New Rivers, Press, University of Minnesota Moorehead, 2015) by Garth Evans and Leila Philip.
The video interweaves poems from the book read by the Leila Philip, conversation with the authors of Water Rising and music by the composer, Shirish Korde. In addition the video includes images of watercolors from the book, photographs taken by the authors of their local landscape and images of each stage of three new watercolors as they evolve.
Support for this project came from the CT Office of the Arts funded by the National Endowment for the Arts and administered by Windham Arts.
