stones tell stories too

Single channel video, 2014

In this installation I was interested in exploring the traces of the land to divulge the ontology of the land, which contains memory, knowledge and living histories. I wanted to reveal that the stones of the island and the great lake bare witness to relationships with the human and non-human creatures for thousands of years. The stones narrate their own truths and worldviews and I have focused on the elements and their relations to the land. For example, how the water and the stones are extremely intimate in their transactions. I was drawn to the memories each stone would carry and what kind of story it might communicate with the various elements of the landscape and its inhabitants.
