Ice: Solar Etchings
Sited along the Mill River near New Haven, Connecticut, the video captures the environmental sounds and the moving trajectory of the sun and the weather through an ice lens. Operating as a drawing tool, the focal point of the ice lens (formed from the river water) etches the paths of movement as textural impressions on paper. As the ice breaks and melts, the arc reaches its end, and the sun sets. The water then returns to the river, leaving behind the arc as the sole remnant.
