inSITE
Temporary work inSITE was created in situ by the removal of soil and measured approximately 53 feet in length, 13 feet in width, and 4 feet in depth. This installation responded to the natural environment and nearby roads of the artist residency’s land. Two pathways are parallel, yet misaligned and meet at the deepest section at the center with seats for two.
This installation was activated by audience interaction and pictured in the images are the founder and partner of the artist residency, Ong and Maureen Siraphisut. The arrangement of the seating created a shared experience being at eye level in the earth with mirrored yet ultimately offset perspectives.
At the time when this piece was completed in mid-November of 2016 the celebrations of Yi Peng and Loi Krathong were occurring, which use brightly burning candles. In the night photos, the inside perimeter of inSITE was lined with candles to cast the cavity in light and highlight an ephemeral moment of this impermanent piece.
