Work-in-progress Documentation, 2010 of plastic dogs on heliodon.
Installation view, Art Center Gallery, Calvin College, 2011
Plastic, DVD, DVD player
Shadows cast by plastic canines are traced on a heliodon (a mechanical apparatus that simulates the sun) for each hour on the summer solstice, equinox and winter solstice. The shadow movement was then documented on video with voiceover announcing time and date. In the installation, the dogs watch themselves on video as their shadows grow and retreat through the day at each time of year.
