At a Distance: Dawn Chorus

Description: A life-ring covered in lead and secured with tacks is suggestive of armour or the hull of a ship, yet retains its identity as a life saving device. Intravenous tubing replaces rope and is filled with salt water that slowly drips from clamped ends, creating a ring of salt crystals. A small black and white surveillance monitor accompanies the life-ring, showing underwater footage from a weighed body. Intimate contact with a body is implied, as a lead life-ring would weigh us down into the water, its intravenous tubing a means of salt water exchange.

Description: On the spindles of this spinning wheel, fishhooks are densely threaded. One spindle, attached to the wheel, turns in a slow methodical movement overemphasized by grinding gear motor sounds. The treadle in turn moves up and down in a wave-like motion. The title is slang, meaning 'without reservation, entirely', making references to the fishing industry where technology has far outweighed the fishing capacity.

Boom, detail 1 of 3

Artist: Fae Logie

ID : 9060

Description: Boom' was initially inspired by the protesters who, in alliance with the Clayoquot Sound demonstrations, chained themselves to the crane of the 'Haida Brave', a self-propelled, self-loading log barge. From this inception, the nautical and logging references broadened. 'Boom' is a cross-section of a tree stump, debarked and painted glossy black. The top surface is stained a dark oak with a brass compass inset into its centre (rendered ineffective by magnets embedded into the ends of the oars). Derrick-like steel oarlocks suspend, balance and weigh, by brass spring scales, the seemingly identical 14-foot whale oars, one of which is hard wood, the other soft wood. By its very size, it obstructs movement and invites handling, especially to set the oars in an up and down motion. Contact microphones attached to the stump, amplify a deep, resonant sound created as the oars are moved back and forth evoking memories of old wooden ships. The image that accompanies the work is a historical photograph of slash burning. The devastation of burnt stumps is contrasted by the beginning of development, the construction of a single dwelling. Projected the image loses its sens of time and place. The oars relate to the two trees left standing in the foreground; the hooked shadows of the oarlocks become the devices of this destruction.

Wishing Whale

Artist: Fae Logie

ID : 19031

Description: The title of this video sculpture, 'Wishing Whale,' is a simple word play emphasizing how easily we anthropomorphize, especially with an animal as revered as the killer whale. This 'wishing well' is a fantastical pool, minimalist in form, such as one might find as a display in an aquarium or museum. A round acqua-blue pool slowly rotates, the inside of which becomes a screen for a projected video of the ocean surface. The viewer is generally unaware of the pool until they are standing over the work, which often causes a slight dizzy feeling. The pool is mounted over an acqua-blue conical shaped structure (housing three black and white video monitors) with blue tinted plexiglass windows to allow viewing of the whale 'in the confines of the tank.' The video was taken at the Vancouver Aquarium and edited to adhere closely to the original footage, emphasizing the constant circular swimming pattern of the whale; the camera following the whale as if under constant surveillance.

The Distance of Plankton from the Moon

Artist: Fae Logie

ID : 19027

Description: The cabinet is part of an antique desk into which are placed (on end) two amber monitors masked by an opaque glass top, such that only two elliptical shaped 'openings' allow for viewing the screens. Two billowing plankton nets are mounted on turned circular frames enhanced with brass rings and concave lenses to reference both telescopes and microscopes. The minotrs display images of the moon and plankton, inquiring into their interrelationship as well as the position of the viewer, in-between. As the light illuminating the sculpture dims rhythmically, reflections of the images appear in the centres of each concave lens as circular floating bodies, a moon or organism suspended in space or water.

Fisheye, [video still]

Artist: Fae Logie

ID : 53818

Description: A small fishing rod case is positioned along the central axis of a worn steamer trunk which, in turn, is supported by a wooden cabinet. The rod case contains a row of lenses or eyepieces with a goggle-eyed appearance inviting the viewer to peer inside. Thousands of greenish yellow fish/snake-like organisms school past endlessly. A separate hole (like an air hole) reveals a pair of unsympathetic defiant eyes staring upwards through water into a sweeping beam of light. In this work I am reexploring the myths of Athena and Medusa, myths of an oceanic school of monsters whose tales merge with my own.

Sea of Tears, [video still]

Artist: Fae Logie

ID : 53822

Description: Sea of Tears is a gigantic 'dining room' table with stained wood and turned legs, but by its very scale and the use, in part, of industrial materials, the structure also takes on an architecutral reading, a wharf or bridge, under which becomes a submerged watery environment. Video images, projected onto the rusty perforated steel surface, filter through to the floor beneath and appear as a moving woven carpet. The video focuses on the arrangement of a tea set by a huge disembodied hand within a changing shoreline environment. The dialogue and sounds reflect this watery setting as well as the imagination of children hiding under the dining room table, making reference to child's play and stories, the family and the power of the unconscious in gender identity. Excerpts from 'Alice in Wonderland', read by an adult female voice, question Alice's identity in relation to the architectural spaces she enters and emerges and her changing size.

Description: Surface Tensions is a plain upright wooden cabinet which allows for viewing through a rectangular opening (30 x 8 cm) in its top surface. Inside a 4-sided kaleidoscope structure tapers towards the bottom, coming in contact with a small monitor. The reflection creates a spherical shape that references both a single drop of water or the earth itself. The video, using a hand held camera, follows a precarious journey across leaves suspended on a water surface such that vibration reverberates through the entire micro-system. Patterns of the leaves and the water adhering to them, are mirrored across the surface of the sphere. The title is plural, implying as well an emotional conflict, an uneasy balance between opposing forces.

Boom, [video still]

It is the cross-section of a tree stump, debarked and painted glossy black except for the top surface, which is stained a dark oak with a brass compass inset into its centre (rendered ineffective by magnets embedded into the ends of the oars). Derrick-like steel oarlocks suspend and balance two 14 foot whale oars which, by their very size, obstruct movement, a silent protest until handled. Moving the oars creates deep, resonant sounds, amplified by a contact microphone attached to the stump. A historical photograph of slash burning depicts the devastation of burnt stumps interrupted only by the construction of a single dwelling. Video, projected onto a pull-down screen, relates two intertwined tales of destruction and endurance, the loss of two tall trees and the severence of a pair of hands. Both tales relay journeys leading to the initiation into an underground forest; to new growth and reclam

It is the cross-section of a tree stump, debarked and painted glossy black except for the top surface, which is stained a dark oak with a brass compass inset into its centre (rendered ineffective by magnets embedded into the ends of the oars). Derrick-like steel oarlocks suspend and balance two 14 foot whale oars which, by their very size, obstruct movement, a silent protest until handled. Moving the oars creates deep, resonant sounds, amplified by a contact microphone attached to the stump. A historical photograph of slash burning depicts the devastation of burnt stumps interrupted only by the construction of a single dwelling. Video, projected onto a pull-down screen, relates two intertwined tales of destruction and endurance, the loss of two tall trees and the severence of a pair of hands. Both tales relay journeys leading to the initiation into an underground forest; to new growth and reclam

Bridge

Artist: Fae Logie

ID : 69865

Description: Two tiny chairs, inextricably bound to massive trunks or pillars of nature, look to each other across a tenuous bridge that does not offer escape. Bridge was a temporary installation spanning 20 feet between two Douglas-fir trees, one of which had been toped illegally, leaving only a 30-foot stump. The chairs express a silent protest, but also nostalgia for childhood, of places of origin, and for loss of kinship between animate and inanimate. Fairy tales told of abandonment within the forest enclosure render the familiar world uncanny. The stump and trees, still possessing a formidable presence as symbolic forests, observe, guardians of our origins and ancient correspondence, however lost or forgotten.

stitch in time

Artist: Fae Logie

ID : 69868

Description: The opening lines of W.S. Merwin's prose poem, Unchopping a tree, prescribes how to begin the arduous task of putting a tree back together. 'Stitch in time' was part of a group installation titled Track, where 13 artists each had 22 feet of a back alley in Vancouver located near the original site of Hastings Mill along the waterfront. This work is both a patchwork quilt and a boom of logs, assembled from the trunk of a Western hemlock that grew in my yard. To patch one tree back together is to speak of irrevocable loss; sewing through the rings of a tree is to stitch through time itself, the tree's memory.

Causeway

Artist: Fae Logie

ID : 69873

Description: Causeway juxtaposes Stanley Park in Vancouver, Canada and Trounson Park campground in Northland, New Zealand. Framed postcards depict the entrance or causeway to Stanley Park over a century of change, including an early depiction of loggers with their tent dwarfed by giant Western red cedars. The placement and scale of the tent and trees in the corresponding installation, mirrors the early postcard and speaks of the loss of forested habitat in both colonized countries. Emanating from the tent is the distinctive call of kiwis. Peering through the eyelet at the front of the tent, one enters a dreamlike journey through tropical flora along a wooden causeway (the modern face of conservation). Tourists in New Zealand can camp to witness the kiwi through the night; this national bird now threatened by invasive species and loss of habitat.

Ubiquitous Forest

Artist: Fae Logie

ID : 69869

Description: A rope ladder is suspended between two parallel mirrors, one on the floor and the other hung from the ceiling. Imitation trees hang down from the upper mirror being reflected below as standing upwards, whereas the ladder is reflected in both mirrors as going on into infinity. Ubiquitous Forest makes specific reference to the loss of diversity in forested lands in both temperate rainforests in the Northern hemisphere and tropical rainforests in the Southern. The mass removal of trees by logging or fire and the replacement of indigenous species with exotics or invasive species has modified these respective environments probably more than any other single human activity. Through such factors as multinational interests and genetic engineering, the idea of local forest ecosystems are at risk as we define our place of dwelling in global terms.

Sea Harrow

Artist: Fae Logie

ID : 69887

Description: Sea Harrow is a rake-like object composed of resin bones cast from a single whale vertebrae, strung together along a 3/4" stainless steel rod to resemble a long spinal column. The video associated with this sculpture is of beluga whales passing at intervals as overexposed bluish white masses, a fin or belly or back. There is a constant up and down movement to the footage, a feeling of being suspended, of drifting with the current somewhere between the self and other.

Scale 1:10,000

Artist: Fae Logie

ID : 69879

Description: Captain George Vancouver was convinced that the only way to make the required scientific survey of all the inlets and islands of the northwest coast of North America, was to trace every foot of the continental foreshore. To this end, his 'People' set out in open longboats to literally row most of the more than 10,000 miles covered during the three year survey between 1792 and 1974. It is in this act of rowing, both as a physical act and in its implications as a means of mapping, claiming and renaming the land, that `Scale 1:10,000 investigates. The concept of rowing the coastline is utilized to examine cultural differences in naming and ownership. The video element of this work shows the artist rowing a costal inlet, now called Indian Arm, the traditional territory of the Tsleil¬Waututh, "People of the Inlet". From the boat, a mile of orange surveying tape is released, which is labeled with the hundreds of surviving place names bestowed on this coast by Vancouver. This renaming of landmarks was often as bids of posterity and proof of ownership, as a desire to familiarize a harsh and unknown landscape. Throughout the length of the video, place names of the Tsleil-Waututh People are superimposed with their translations. These traditional names reflect resources and the use of the land in relation to the people and to stewardship. In the installation, the mile of surveying tape is wound into a large roll and displayed on an 18th Century wooden table with the video screen behind. Postcards depicting the inlet were given out as souvenirs.

Island

Artist: Fae Logie

ID : 83459

Description: The looped wharf delineates a shape on the foreshore, an island if you like, defining a space distinct from its surroundings. With the incoming tide, a voyage comes into place; the vessel, as the island, is different from its surroundings again.

Working in the liminal zone between the forest and the intertidal of Port Moody, a looped wharf defines a space on the beach. An island. Separate. With the incoming tide, a voyage comes into play, an exodus, and a returning.

Description: In collaboration with Anne Eggebert, UK.

Audio recordings of the forest birds of Port Moody and Chingford played to each others forests via laptop computers displaying the distant forest. At a Distance has, “to a large extent involved the exchange of e-mail conversations relating our sensory experiences of moving through our respective forests and the memories and anecdotes that assign meaning to the idea of forest. Looking for the familiar in elsewhere and the unknown in the local, a key aspect of ‘At a Distance’ has been to invert the ‘here’ and ‘there’.” Anne Eggebert

Decoy

Artist: Fae Logie

ID : 83463

Description: As a forest intervention, Decoy is composed of the altered triangular front of a pale green tent, suspended through grommets and monofilament. In the centre of the mesh door a nest-like weaving of local mosses, lichens and algae frame an opening. It appears as a blind or decoy, containing or dividing a space, disrupting the distinction of inside and outside, alluding to refuge, it is not a dwelling but a non-dwelling.

Flotsam and Jetsam

Artist: Fae Logie

ID : 83465

Description: Titled as the wreckage or cargo from a sunken ship these two round ‘wharfs’ provide an antidote to contemporary life. Within an antithesis of speed, they flow in contrast to most other forms of modern locomotion on land or water. Each wharf, built from discarded construction scrap, equipped with cable and rope, floats or rolls independently, then touch gently, like gears in an ephemeral machine. Placed in watery environments of commerce and trade, Logie and Mulvhill maneuver and navigate two distinct journeys amidst harbours. Clad in gumboots or hard hats, they emulate the essence of day-to-day work along the waterfront, contrasting insignificant human scale with the grand impact of industry and urban intervention.

Journey

Artist: Fae Logie

ID : 83468

Description: In collaboration with Rainer Daniels.

A bridge enables passage. Spanning Noons Creek, aspects of the bridge railings become the body and exposed ribs of two long canoes; their paddle blades cut with patterns referencing natural and man-made elements nearby (water, foliage, drains and signage). Light cast through the blades mirrors these patterns back into the natural surroundings. The canoe is a potent symbol. It speaks of both European explorers and settlers to this area, and of the local First Nations People. As well, it has become a symbol of escape as urban adventurers strap canoes and kayaks to the roofs of their cars to seek an experience of nature.

Nurse Cabinet

Artist: Fae Logie

ID : 83481

Description: Referencing nurse logs or stumps, ‘Nurse Cabinet’ is an old wooden display cabinet placed in my yard as a sort of cabinet of curiosity or terrarium laboratory housing living specimens of native seedlings. The cabinet will gradually decay as the trees mature, nursed by soil augmented with yard composting leaves, the action of insects, fungi and bacteria. The cabinet is modified to capture rainwater through glass funnels penetrating the top boards; its interior providing a sheltered environment simulating the conditions of the forest floor. Two holes drilled into the sideboards will access enclosed shelves for nesting birds. ‘Nurse Cabinet’ looks at notions of scientific collections and impermanence. When I moved from the house, the cabinet was dismantled with only the ‘tomb’ of the earth remaining.

Clam Line

Description: Sourcing natural accumulations of shells in Burrard Inlet, the clamshells are filled with concrete and joined by fluorescent twine to a length of 1000 feet. Clam Line references ideas of fishing, of weighted lines, carrying the analogy through to the catch, the clams as product, collected, processed, counted, traded, and sold. I am interested in examining the natural manipulated, as in aquaculture where nature is managed towards efficiency of harvest, regardless of impact to habitat. Appearing to delineate the circumference of Granville Island, Clam Line also acts as a marker – fluorescent twine being used as a tool by surveyors and builders to indicate land claimed for alternate purposes.

Description: Timber is an installation with groupings of tree-like columns composed of rolls of toilet paper stacked one on top of the other.

The title and materials reference the construct of our forests simply as a resource for economic gain, the ubiquitous use of paper products in our day-to-day lives. The rolls appear as a child’s game of stacking blocks, the shout of “Timber” when everything falls down.

My 6B pencil traces this memory of touch, marking time – time innate to the growth of trees as water and nutrients travel through its trunk’s vascular system, tree rings a visual of its growth. The Bark Drawings are a series of mural-sized works depicting major species of coniferous trees within our Coastal temperate rainforest – Douglas fir, Western hemlock, Sitka spruce, Western red cedar. As when experiencing individual tall conifers in close proximity, these drawings relate to a bodily awareness, to one’s own as well as to the other. Texture and pattern is abstracted and in subtle ways repeats itself, retaining the unique markings of a hand or of nature.

SS Aimless

Artist: Fae Logie

ID : 83501

Description: In collaboration with Tiki Mulvihill.

Referencing early nautical means of locomotion: steam ships, galleys, paddle wheelers and rowboats with a definite non-functional twist. SS Aimless implies simple transport in the form of a time traveling hybrid. It is powered to go nowhere in an era that consumes copious amounts of resources but fails to further us ahead. SS Aimless serves as a metaphor for the conflicting notions of our time. Built of re-purposed shipyard scrap, it remains caught in the ebb and flow of the tide, anchored in contemporary times, yet moored to the traditional, obsolete transport systems of our past.

Blind

Artist: Fae Logie

Ghost Rings (cross-sections) – Iceland

Artist: Fae Logie

ID : 83497

Description: There is a saying in Iceland, “the people survived but the forest died”. Fine tree-like rings, almost invisible, skim the surface of Petri dishes making reference to the lost birch forests, cross sections of the lost tree remnants preserved in bogs. At latitudes where trees are not thought to thrive, the landscape of Iceland was at least a third forested at the time of settlement.

SS Aimless

Artist: Fae Logie

ID : 83503

Description: In collaboration with Tiki Mulvihill.

Referencing early nautical means of locomotion: steam ships, galleys, paddle wheelers and rowboats with a definite non-functional twist. SS Aimless implies simple transport in the form of a time traveling hybrid. It is powered to go nowhere in an era that consumes copious amounts of resources but fails to further us ahead. SS Aimless serves as a metaphor for the conflicting notions of our time. Built of re-purposed shipyard scrap, it remains caught in the ebb and flow of the tide, anchored in contemporary times, yet moored to the traditional, obsolete transport systems of our past.

R24

Artist: Fae Logie

ID : 83512

Description: In collaboration with Tiki Mulvihill

Appearing suspended as in a watery depth, R24 is a site responsive work of fiction and fact. Referencing local folklore of the costal community of Telegraph Cove whose legends, economy and purpose resides around the annual appearance of the killer whales. A weathered sea anchor held in tandem with nets for collecting plankton, rope and antique wooden objects becomes an apparatus for the narrative. Emitting chirps and high-pitched squeals of the recorded R pod, R24 has an eerie presence of unresolved emotion.

Bark Drawing II Western Hemlock

Artist: Fae Logie

ID : 83513

Description: The flesh of my palm presses firmly against a tree’s bark sensing the ridges pushing back. My 6B pencil traces this memory of touch, marking time – time innate to the growth of trees as water and nutrients travel through its trunk’s vascular system, tree rings a visual of its growth. The Bark Drawings are a series of mural-sized works depicting major species of coniferous trees within our Coastal temperate rainforest – Douglas fir, Western hemlock, Sitka spruce, Western red cedar. As when experiencing individual tall conifers in close proximity, these drawings relate to a bodily awareness, to one’s own as well as to the other. Texture and pattern is abstracted and in subtle ways repeats itself, retaining the unique markings of a hand or of nature.

Tree Aprons/Tree Line

Artist: Fae Logie

ID : 83534

Description: The installation ‘Tree Line’ is part of a series relating my impressions of the urban boreal forests of high latitudes. In the fall, hunters dressed in camouflage infiltrate the forest surrounding Dawson City, Yukon. Chainsaws of woodcutters can be heard penetrating the scraggy bush of spruce and pine, birch and aspen. Snow creeps down past the tree line. I wrap trees in camouflage aprons to conceal, possibly protect, measuring the fabric to the dimensions of the trunks, small, medium and large. As both a reference to hunting and to war, camouflage resembles the coarse scales of spruce bark, mimicking patterns found in nature. This adopted characteristic for the spruce trees provides a disguise, an adaptation to the changing environment they inhabit, improving their chances of survival.

Trap Line

Description: Installed in a dense northern latitude forest, small-mirrored trap-like devices are set for capturing. Propped open to reveal an alluring red interior with words such as ‘PREY’ or ‘SEX’ or ‘MATE’ embroidered on fabric, these objects of enticement mimic pheromone insect traps. In scientific applications, pheromone traps use highly species-specific sex pheromones to lure insects, whether for population counts or to detect and trap invading or exotic species. Changes in thermal patterns are affecting the geographic distribution of host trees and their associated insects and pathogens. Trap Line references methods of mitigating the impacts of pest management by innovative non-destructive means that look at the interdependence of forest ecosystems.

Description: Paint flowing into the demarcated tracks of wood boring beetles is like tattoos written on a body, calligraphy of a journey from larval to adult. ‘Limb’ references W.S. Merwin’s prose poem ‘Unchopping a Tree’, prescribing how to begin the arduous task of putting a tree back together. “Start with the leaves, the small twigs, and the nests that have been shaken, ripped, or broke off by the fall; these must be gathered and attached once again to their respective places.” ‘Limb’ mirrors these tasks. Reassembling this vine maple that grew in the yard of my family home speaks of irrevocable loss. Sewing through the rings of a tree is to sew through time itself, the tree’s memory.

Description: Collaborative project with members of Art Is Land Network

The title for our installation describes a narrative of the land, the impact of human activity on the earth and subsequently, on our climate. In our process, we have adopted the term Anthropocene, which describes this time of mass extinction of plant and animals species, pollution and atmospheric change. Through the juxtaposition of ideas, F I C T I O N expresses concerns for these impacts. Using aspects of the materiality of language, cultural mark making, text, object manipulation and layering, we trigger meanings and references. Curving the shapes of the background panels, they resemble old maps or stretched hides. Cutting into their surfaces, making additions, taking away, working with pattern and repetition, narratives evolve. Animal or plant forms morph into abstract shapes, architectural details become geometric relief, or vice versa. Mimicking the adaptive strategies of life forms, our collective story involves improvisation.
