I really like her comment just before the end about how she used to make political work and strived to make works that were strong political statements but then realised that something more valuable and needed that political statements is making work that shows and creates an environment of magic and kindness which is more important.

” “Missing Time” considers the history and mythology of the High Lines as a “thin place”- a portal to other worlds – while exploring its transformation and invisible histories.”

I like the idea about the thin place, i have never heard this expression before but it makes me think of the thin space above mountains between the earth and the atmosphere, a space of in between and where two worlds meet. The comprehendible and the unliveable places that lye so close to each other at every moment of existence and now due to climate change and the thinning of the ozone layer, theses two environments begin to merge and combine!

National Trust related – combining sculpture with history and current ideas, pushing perception and understanding, changing the experience of an environment. Similar to the way people have tied rags to ancient trees as a form of worship in Pagan traditions down in secret hidden places in Cornwall – often surrounding ancient wishing wells believed to have magical healing powers. Maybe there is a cross cultural tradition to believe that tying things and materials to trees can bring good and channel magic. It does feel appropriate and right to tie things in and decorate trees when thinking about ecology and nature, wish making and putting value in ecology and ancient knowledge. The trees are smarter than we think.
The ceramic blue bells hung in the tree must have chimed without human involvement – something interesting about abstract instruments like this where humans don’t have to be present and there will be music playing no matter what, whether there are human spectators or not. A collaboration between human, tree and wind. Unpredictable, organic sounds made at own accord, sounds to be heard by nature from humans – gifts back to nature from humans. Can sound help growth of plants and animals and even humans?

I really like her vast array of projects spanning different sights and mediums and people and different group involvements. Also like how some are temporary and some are long lasting and potentially permanently connected to an environment that is always changing and moving out of her control such as the forest – hints of entropy here – the work will inevitably decompose and return to nature as it grows moss, becomes insect homes and are blow off and broken or buried in the ground where the clay originated from. A circle of life, the life of the ceramics make sounds suspended in the AIR, in the SPACE between branches and leaves and their initial purpose dies when the ceramic bells are removed or hit the floor where they do not chime anymore.
