Site Specific Project Sources

As i was searching of course i was unsure of what to look for so i looked up site specific art. I came across a few images that tended to spark my idea of how i wanted to do this piece. One idea i wanted to work with was something hanging in wires and/or strings. The idea of it in front of a window came from the artist Caroline Moiret.

It was suspended kinetics piece with her artwork displayed in the air in an open space. Preferably by a window with sunlight shining in.

As i thought about it I wanted to do something with Spirits. Looking up spirits online i noticed that many of them are small orbs of light. I had wanted to do a presence in the room in the corner. However realizing that it doesn't have to be one, what if i did a multitude of small orbs in the corner. Never would one see spirits clustered together on a normal basis.

One source that really tied it all together was this one.

It reminded me of small birds flying in a group in the air as soon as they take flight.
