SITE Time Lapse

How do we experience the water and how does time effect that experience?   Are there specific moments one can experience?

My intervention is a play on the tides and turbidity of the Providence River.   Exposed; unexposed; reflective; unreflective. 

LEMON!

A bag full of lemons.  Brightly colored with yellow and speckled with pores.  Are they pores?!   I don’t know.  Lemon pressed to the grater, I deprive the lemon of its rind.  A spritz of lemon citrus and zest in the air.  Into a bowl fall the shriveling strands of marigold colored lemon rind.

The lemon is no longer its brightly colored yellow; the lemon is a pale yellow.

I slice one lemon open exposing its capsules of juices.  The lemon is yellow again.  An individual slice I take, and into the same bowl squeeze the slice to drain it of its juices.  Left are nearly two rind-less, pale yellow lemons.

Near a dozen eggs; plenty of sugar; plenty of butter; a bit of flour; a bit of baking powder; a pinch of salt; vanilla. Mixed and pour, then placed into an oven.  Ten minutes

Viola!  Madeleines

Still, nearly two lemons still full of citrus and zest.

My Earliest Memory

It’s funny.  I feel as though I ‘ve done this exercise one before.  I actually, most recently had to recall my earliest memory writing my statement of intent as I was applying to grad school.  I wrote something along the lines of the following.

 

“In my earliest memory, I lay on the floor.  My face pressed against the cold concrete floor.  I see across the room my mother picking up items off the floor.  She looks over at me and scolds, “Angela, don’t sleep on the floor! It’s so dirty.”

 

I pick myself off the floor and move myself to a new napping place.

 

A solid ground.  A flat surface.  A cool surface.  I enjoyed these qualities of the space my mother and father made our home. I could not see the difference.  All I know was the floor was dirty.
