Scenic View
Four vitrines, small steel boxes, text, photographic images and sound.
Etched into the sides the names of species of trees in both English (“Hazel Alder”) and Latin (“Alnus Serrulata”).
A separate line of text runs along one side of each box, linked together, collectively read
“The road of the / Past and Future /Points. Places in / The Imagination .”
The steel tops of the vitrines have photographic transfers on them
The architectural detail is from Trinity College Dublin, the centre image a scenic view of un-named site in Norther Ontario
A timing system triggers speakers in the boxes.
From each emanates the same a poem by Victor Coleman (read by the poet) and the sound of water.
