Russian River Triptych

Picture
A celebration of sound and visual art was held at the Ranch in August 2011 to commemorate the first year of the Chalk Hill artist-in-residence program, produced by Alice and Pierce Warnecke. Hugh's contribution is the River Triptych.

Birdcages are filled with imaginary - perhaps invisible? - birds, improvising on the classics, riffing through stolen melodies; cuckoos clock and clack and can't quite keep time; underwater bubbles come to the surface, making rhythmic patterns in a field of alien wildflowers; windows frame distant vistas, radiating with yesterday's sound, a granular frog, a repeating river, a Creek chorus of Euphrats, glass sounds floating by.

Afterwards you will want to curl up with a good brook.
