Drift
In the installation “Drift,” a fan slowly blows red sand into a bloom that accumulates at the far corner of the gallery. The sound of the moving material is amplified by a pressure-sensitive microphone attached to the floor.
The creation of “Drift” was influenced by environmental disasters, geopolitical shifts, and unrestrained economic growth. The movement of these particles could represent natural or man-made geological changes, individual people on the move, or the scattering of resources once taken for granted. The sound creates a suspenseful atmosphere directly correlated to the unfolding action.
