2015 | blue smoke pyrotechnics landscape installation (high resolution digital video installation: 5min00sec) | installation view (1): Bury Art Museum, 2016 | part of Loomings: produced by: Mark Devereux Projects, videography by: Andrew Brooks image: Andrew Brooks

Within this work, a cloud of blue smoke emerges from an underground cavern, billowing around a natural ravine and revealing the movements of the wind as it moves through the landscape. As the smoke reaches the height of the ravine, the sun emerges from behind overhead clouds and beams down into the cavern, the smoke revealing defined rays of light cutting down onto the forest floor. The work captures (through high-resolution video) this elusive event, as the sun appears at the perfect moment; enabling viewers to witness this encounter that occurred out in a remote place for a single, specific duration of time.
