Nodality
Mixed media installation in collaboration with HAVN, 2017-2018
“A place belongs forever to whoever claims it hardest, remembers it most obsessively, wrenches it from itself, shapes it, renders it, loves it so radically that they remake it in their own image.”
― Joan Didion
Nodality is a collective exploration of place, and the interrelationships and connections we find between our environment’s temporal spaces and histories. Together, we are trying new ways of looking at, and conceiving of, the natural, social and human ecologies existing between the complex systems in our surroundings.
Using archive, inquiry, and experience, we are inspired to respond to our shared landscape by experimenting with materials and re-contextualized meanings of urban, industrial, and natural spaces that can transform, be preserved, or reconciled through intervention or conversation. We reflect on the changing intersections and interactions of Hamilton systems at a great time of flux.
This collaborative exhibition is the final phase of a year-long experimental project called Nodality by the Hamilton Audio Visual Node. Generously funded by the City of Hamilton’s City Enrichment Fund, Nodality is allowing HAVN artists to conduct research, share knowledge, and work with new art forms.
