"I think of my life’s work as a celebration of all of nature, an orchestra that plays not the sounds of one musician, the music of one species, but rather an expression of all of nature’s songs."
- Gregory Colbert
Gregory Colbert's’ Ashes to Snow exhibitions, has long been an inspiration, mostly because they are so immersive.
The work that he creates is very intimate, bold and moving, and I think that allowing people to really feel the full expression of his work an immersive experience is the only way to really do so. I also feel that when you create such an experience, it opens up the work to more people and a wider audience, as there is a draw not just to the work, but to the event its self.
When I come to producing my own work and creating an experience, realistically I will not be producing a show on such a scale as Ashes to Snow, but I want to take elements from it. I want to be able to create spaces that are intriguing, intimate and open to a verity of people.
Creating small structures that could be placed almost anywhere, at this stage would be very doable.
Have something small with minimal materials will be easy enough to construct and place in a public space, where it would be accessible to a number of different people.
I have been thinking about producing a small exhibit with 3-4 images printed and presenting them in some sort of fashion such as the examples below.
