Description

While in residence at the Alchemy Art Center in Friday Harbor, WA, I learned of a house whose residents firmly believed to be haunted by the ghost of a woman. During their many consultations and experiments in both exorcising and learning to live with their ghost, they were advised by a local spiritualist to “connect the ground beneath the house back to the sky above it.” On the first moment of dawn of the Summer solstice, I traced the first fall of light on the ground of the building with tens of thousands of seeds taken from the cones of the native fir trees from the area. The seeds remained in place until the last ray of light faded at dusk.
