Ascension Screen: Attempting to Forestall a Death
April 2007
Polyproplyene twine, paper, light, crayon, and staples
18.5’ x 16’ x 32’
A large installation built to keep a friend with heart trouble alive and here with me. Three layers of twine netting were formed from four different electrocardiograms (flatline on the front wall, complete heart block the left wall, normal heartbeat on the back wall, and pacemaker on the right.) Shadows of the twine were traced onto paper covering the floor; this will hopefully initiate a future collaborative project.
