A solo show culminating from 'The Cloud Seeding project'. A 12 month project exploring world wide forms of weather modification, most notably cloud seeding. The works in the exhibition speak on ideas of communication, broken cycles, control, fate and possibility.
We are inspired by the metaphorical and literal implications of weather modification, in global, social and economic ideals.
Attempting to control the weather is a concept that has the potential for catastrophic or revolutionary outcomes, in which the next generation are witness.
The installation comprises photographs of local children's eyes, wood and granite sculpture, live performance, remnants from performance, a wall pice drawn by a local child responding to the show and a sound recording of planes.
