Text of the artwork:

Element II: 10/16 inscriptions on banners displayed in a field beside St. Mary River:

eaux fugitives
nocturnal waters
ophélia
eaux dormantes
eaux de sang
eaux mortes
eaux d'artifice
silent waters
eaux mouvantes

fire of illumination
fire of fate
fire of exaltation
fire of eternity

[Element III: Poem. Available only in the catalog]

The work begins with the choice of a place…

a wild growing meadow

the water’s edge

off shore

up river

Lake freighter passage

daily

down river

The Middletown

The Burns Harbour with empty holds

The Belle River with full holds

The Falkön carrying grain

fuel

coal

and various ores

…as to the destination of the cargo

coastal towns and other ports of entry

Is there anything that is not about moving

Something from one place to another?

water’s uninterrupted flow

fire’s endless consumption

during night

overture on our own endless changes

or day

to the west

six oil reservoirs painted stark white covered by the shade of trees at 7 pm

in between

sixteen markers painted while speaking of water and related tales

to the east

a night picture speaking of fire and its guardians

Text theme:

The elements (water and fire); industry, nature threatened, fuel, marine transport, cargo and consumption of natural resources
