..If there’s one aspect of this place that’s been both most enlightening and most mysterious to me [it's] been the overall relationship between resident & land. Close to the house is a garden that provides a small but steady amount of produce for the residents; next door is a new farm with farm stand sitting out on the street; and, last but not least, in the near distance, just past John’s home, there is a meadow which he has generously donated to a local farmer for this season’s sheep feed. Note the llama coming out of the sheep’s blue tent. He serves as an appropriately nonconformist shepherd. It is not uncommon for artist residencies to be housed in such a bucolic setting. But of the few that I’ve visited, I don’t know if I’ve ever encountered a place where there is a more direct engagement between visiting artists and native setting. Perhaps because of the residency’s small size, it’s intimacy, the discouragement of deep cocooning, contact with nature is unavoidable.

That said, the real work that gets done here is overwhelmingly creative. Pictured, is People Get Ready’s extremely colorful scorp list. Translation for normal humans: a grid of completed tracks. ( Apologies for the inside jokes, but to get even more obscure, you better get ready for some funky Twin Peaks.)...

surnager
2010

Surnager is a site-specific installation created during my residency at Denniston Hill in July 2010. This installation responds to and reverberates the location rather than adding to it, working, hence, from visual impulses found on site and triggering a ‘conversational’ momentum between these impulses and the sculptural work. The installation 'surnager' floated on the lake on the grounds of Denniston Hill and resonated with organic forms that are found in and around the lake: leaves, the rocks in the lake, and the shape of the lake itself. The installation created multiple echoes with the surrounding, similar to the ways in which water reflects its surrounding.
