Anne O'Callaghan

Mining the repositories of memory, Anne O'Callaghan reconstructs the natural and human histories issuing from this site. In Relic of Memory, domestic and architectural structures fabricated from contemporary industrial materials are introduced into the environment. An eight-foot long steel table squarely placed in a moss-laden clearing bears the inscription "Huron-Hatherly-Ruttan," identifying the generations of people who have inhabited this territory. Alternately, the poetic insertions on the reverse trace the organic constituents of the earth: "Petrified Wood  Dead Lava  Cooling Star  Incarcerated Ghosts"  extending the historical continuum. Nearby, an area of hollowed ground is vaulted by a pair of steel arches joined at the vertices by a single cross beam.

Tim Whiten

The materiality of Tim Whiten's composite piece is reduced to the essential element of his chosen site: the Pre-Cambrian shield. Danse includes two skeletal figures sand-blasted into the rock. Rendered on the slope of a hill, the first figure is dark and visible from a distance, beckoning us towards the second which lies on higher ground. The joints of these life-sized images are deftly articulated, while the veins of the granite crisscross within the etched boundaries of the bones, enhancing the gestural vitality of the figures.

Badanna Zack

Badanna Zack's roadside sculpture, Mound of Cars, intertwines the raw materials of nature with the vestiges of technology. Six discarded vehicles found on the property in a derelict state were towed, stacked in a pyramid fashion, crushed, and covered with earth. Integrated into the surrounding terrain, the mound is continuous with the ground level behind while its contours rephrase the rock formations which front the site.
