For me, this space I will be installing in has a lot of memories attached to it. This was a place I was able to explore and discover things growing up. I was able to touch and respond to this landscape. Having the tactile experience of this environment has left an impression on me and definitely my artwork. I want to portray the different experiences I've had with this environment through touch. I would like to cast a lot of plaster fingers that I paint in different playful colors or one uniform color. I would install them under a bridge that crosses over the river by my parents house. I want the fingers to look like they are touching the horizon line from the vantage point of standing in the river. It would represent my impression on the landscape, but also letting the horizon line layout how I install the fingers to show the relationship of my touch and the land itself.
I am still trying to figure out the best way to convey with relationship in a playful way. I think colored fingers would be fun and something I would enjoy making, but I also don't want to be too literal? I know I want to run with this idea, but I'm still toying around with the idea of the fingers and what else I could do in this space as well.
