VIDEO PERFORMANCE
Sea Grass
Sea Grass is an experimental video engaging with the landscape of Kanaka Bay on Saysutshun Island, BC through a found washed-up section of astroturf. As the tide slowly rises, the video documents my attempt to carefully incorporate this piece of artificial grass into the landscape by “planting” it. I meticulously place handfuls of sand around the fabric edges protruding from the astroturf and gently pat and smooth the sand until the object has been fully incorporated into the beach. This small green rectangle of faux-nature pasted into the landscape resembles a doormat leading into the ocean.
