The Sky Iterations are an exploration in mimicking, creating, utilizing, and becoming one with the sky through different materials and methods. In the first stage of ‘How to Be/Become the Sky’, I undertook this becoming exploration primarily by reflecting the sky. I used two different reflective surfaces: small, flat, organizable pieces of the sky (round mirrors), and a large flexible segment of the sky (mylar sheet). Using small pieces I was able to build the sky myself, piecing the sky together like a puzzle. Using a large sheet I was able to enter the sky more directly with my entire body, and thus become a part of it. After these initial investigations, I wanted to figure out if I could possibly bring these components of the sky that I had perhaps made, perhaps interacted with, indoors. In the installation, I juxtapose projected, and thus glowing, photographs of the project’s first phase with an indoor sculptural installation that mimicked and combined the qualities of the outdoors works. I projected photographs of the sky onto this sculpture, so that the materials that had been used outdoors were in a sense still illuminated by the sky. The resulting work is a combination of initial reflections of the sky, projections of those reflections, and reflections of those projections of reflections. (haha)
