Give me a setting sun

“Give me a setting sun,” installed on a bus platform at Union Depot, is a visual meditation on the experience of waiting. What does it mean to wait? What kinds of emotions, remembrances and daydreams fill in the cracks of our ‘captive’ time? Asynchronous video streams are projected on a linear sequence of semi-transparent scrims; the result is a physical intermingling that invites interaction from the viewer–he/she can (and are encouraged to) literally walk through the work and affect the image.
