Pools of Belief
Oceans of Desire
Oceans of Desire is a performance/installation project to help the audience consider the role humans and our personal choice plays in the destruction of the natural environment, the oceans and fresh water. The piece is comprised of a sequence of 10 life-size graphic images of blue plastic children’s swimming pools. The first pool is filled with clean water and fish with butterflies hovering above the surface. The pools progress in a sequence filling up with objects, products and pollution. The pools are soon filled with burning oil tankers, army men, whisky bottles, playing cards, national flags and other assorted “necessities”. A video animation of the pools with sound tract is projected to complete the installation. The pools were originally exhibited at Print Triennial 2007, Dalarnas Museum in Falun Sweden. The pools were exhibited at the YWCA in Kansas City Kansas as part of Chameleon’s Earth Day spring series of programs March –May 2008. The works are continuing to be exhibited nationally and internationally over the next 2 years. Produced by artists Hugh Merrill and Patrick Moonasar.
