BLUE SKIES

A five-channel video depicts a lone cowgirl in a variety of breathtaking landscapes across Alberta. Dressed in her finest costumes the character supports a massive golden sculpture as an accessory, a dance partner, and her greatest obstruction. Struggling against scale and environment the cowgirl persistently tries to take action. Her motive remains unknown, but questions of power and grandeur saturate the video and accompanying sculptural installation. Utilizing glittering movement as a device to call attention, the exhibition presents us with alternative ways of claiming space.
