'CONTROL'
CONTROL serves as a journey through the stages of human control on an environment, shown through lenses of materiality, water, and enclosure.
An installation in Father Hennepin Bluff Park, CONTROL highlights the way the park transforms from being totally controlled by humans to fairly uncontrolled and back again. The installation consists of a series of four boxes, each one designed to heighten a user’s senses by either taking away views or training them in a specific direction, allowing users to more easily perceive the phenomena. The boxes are also sheathed in copper, with different treatments ranging from polished to oxidized to further highlight human control over nature’s effects. Finally, each box has a relationship with the water on the site, which helps speak to the site’s varying levels of vitality. Connecting these boxes is a stone path, weathered and cut to various states to further highlight human control.
