July 2007 in the Backspace

From Sea to Shining Sea
Vaughn Bell

July 5–29, 2007
Opening reception Thursday, July 5, 6-9pm

The installation From Sea to Shining Sea uses video images shot at matching latitudes on the East and West coasts. The piece makes physical the imagined connections between different and distant landscapes. Bell has used mapping systems, the grid of latitude and longitude, as a structure within which to explore the personal connections we develop to specific places. Fascinated by this area where land meets water, Bell combined footage of the distant horizon with minute details of the shore.
