While in residence at the Djerassi Artist Program in the coastal hills of California, during April, 2023, I created an ephemeral installation in the Old Barn, an abandoned barn restructured for such projects. Small square openings in the roof cast small patches of light on the barn floor. I captured and amplified the patches of light by placing in them small squares of white paper mounted with crumpled tracing paper. It became a performance piece as the sun moved or the wind slid them across the floor, and I swept the little sculptures with a broom back into the light. The installation unexpectedly revealed the movement of the earth.
