Site Specific Piece

Just a close then far perspective of the piece. I prefer it to be in a corner because spirits usually are silent but want to be heard from some of the past info i learned. If they ever do show themselves it's just basically letting you know that it's there and most likely isn't trying to scare you. Of course this doesn't go for all spirits.
It's by a window on a cloudy day which is exactly how i had wanted it to be. If it was too sunny then the piece would be easily seen and the room would be less darkened. If it was night time then i would have no light coming into the room at all then i would have to wait. So rainy days are the best for me.

Site Specific Piece

A better close up perspective at how i wrapped the pieces around each string after sliding the string through a hole in the center of each sheet of normal white paper. I then slide them up the string at a certain point and secure them in place with a small piece of tape. But i only had to do this for a few. The rest of them was able to stay on the string w/o tape.

Site Specific Piece

A close up of the piece and a little farther away. I had wanted it to be a presence in the room that one would probably notice if they walk in. As you get closer you see that it's not just one but many in a group. A small cluster of "orbs" to be more specific.

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.
