The artists combine the visual potential of light, water and glass to create site-specific installations on the foreshore, made of colour and sand, and, as with the metamorphosis of Yokai creatures, their work changes in appearance. I
About
In Japanese mythology, the river represents the threshold between real-life and the spirit-world.In the novel ‘A Pale View of the Hills’, Gregory Manson notes that the reader “begins to realize that it involves things which are not what they seem” and that “there maybe mirror realities in reflection or opposition, a stream of ghostly existence running parallel to our own.”
Maurer and Moore have created site-specific installations on the foreshore, using small glass panes to interact with this newly formed landscape. The space exists temporarily, reclaimed at low tide for a few hours before the river closes back in, a kind of - now you see it, now you don’t – magic act.
