Deer/shell
Artist: Toby Chapman MacLennan
ID : 25426
Description: The outline of a life size deer is chiseled into a rock that faces out to sea. Cowrie shells, coloured brown and white like the skin of a deer, were attached by 6 foot cords to the image of the deer. The tide comes in and slowly rises over the deer. The cowrie shells vacillate in the waves, being pulled out to the sea they came from, then push back against the deer to form it's skin. At high tide, the deer image disappears. Only the deer coloured shells are seen floating on top of the water. Installed on Galiano Island, British Columbia.

Singing Stars
Artist: Toby Chapman MacLennan
ID : 25417
Description: Multi media performance, beginning with a reading of a story about a village of peope who believe they have lost the power of night, which once resided inside them. Following the story, a group of musicians and singers each pursue their quest to retrieve the power of night by using movable pieces of sculpture. Each sculpture holds a rectangular frame with five wooden bars. This frame acts as a musical score. Using the stars on a planetarium dome of by flooding a gallery with multi- projections of galaxies, the musicians look through the rectangular frame on top of their sculpture. Seeing the stars fall into the note spaces of their score, the musicians give a concert singing and playing the stars.

Does a Wave Belong to the Sea or the Shore
Artist: Toby Chapman MacLennan
ID : 25422
Description: A woman dressed as a landscape, wearing a 6' x 8' movable skirt, wheels herself onto the stage. A man painted white, emerges from a Skybox sculpture. The woman poses questions to him, such as, "Does a wave belong to the sea or the shore?" The man responds to the various questions with Kabuki-like actions, incorporating mechanical movements made by his Skybox. After the woman's final question, she rolls up her skirt like a stage curtain and mechanically releases 100 Melmac cups from underneath it, the cups crashing to the floor.

Absence of a hole
Artist: Toby Chapman MacLennan
ID : 25438
Description: Excerpt from film soundtrack: "He was not going to be afraid, he assured himself. It was just that no one before him had ever deliberately thought of biting into something without a mouth, as a way to knowledge. But wasn't there mounting evidence all over, that the others were simply unaware that they had already begun? For years, the billions of people everywhere, who each one closed their mouth over a single word, hadn't they already bitten into a piece of the day?"

Mouth of the Sky
Artist: Toby Chapman MacLennan
ID : 25441
Description: The Mouth of the Sky is a film projected onto a sculpture of a woman who is sitting on a golden structure. This structure is based on a Hindu sculpture that symbolizes the self. The film loop contains two sets of images. One is of the artist (in the same position as the sitting woman) facing the viewer. She is rolling backwards in a muddy marsh, throwing her arms and legs out to the sky, then bringing them close to her body in a fetal position. The second set of images shows the sculpture woman caked in mud. A small songbird appears in the gaping mouth of the figure. It hesitates, and then takes flight, flying out of the mouth toward the viewer, followed by more and more birds.

Am I Gonna Die?
Artist: Toby Chapman MacLennan
ID : 25436
Description: This work was inspired by the death of a close friend. In the middle of a black room, a man, attached to an I.V. bag, holding a seashell to his ear, is suspended on a large rock-like sculpture. A field of sand spreads out beneath the figure upon which images of skeletons, watermelons, lips, etc. are built up out of coloured sand. Votive candles surround the sand. Quiet sounds of a baby cooing and high distant bells repeat on a tape loop.
