Confluence-Ten Mile River, Canto XXVIII, Part 2. August 7, 2022
It's February, 2 years into Covid. One winter's sunset I walked to the confluence of Ten Mile River and the ocean north of Fort Bragg, CA. Too deep to cross, I watch transfixed a refracting sunset sky ride waves sinking into sand leaving momentary blizzards of incandescent hot pink sizzle. 2 part Performance Ritual with friends. The still images at the beginning of the video are from Part 1 that was presented in Fort Bragg in my gallery window and along the sidewalk on August 3. Part 2 was presented at Seaside Beach.
The Canto Series are site specific performance ceremonies and installations of related artworks with paper that have been experienced globally. Canto II took place on a cluster of rocks in the South China Sea, Canto XIV took place at District Six in CapeTown S.A. Canto XI occurred at Catal Hoyuck,Turkey.
Paper is my semaphore.
