Santa Cruz Island Reserve

23 Jun, 04 AM - 26 Jun, 08 AM

I grew up on a forty foot ketch that spent most of it's time anchored off Santa Cruz Island. We lived on the boat and it was that part of my life when "home" slipped into my psyche, silently and unnoticed. It was only years later, as I moved away from Southern California for the first time, that I realized Santa Cruz Island was the place i missed, the place I always felt I was coming back to. I've lived in many different places in the world, but as I traveled, I'd often close my eyes and imagine any of the anchorages that sheltered me for the night--the smell of the grass off the land, the roll of the swell, and, most importantly, the sound. Each place on the island has a special acoustic identity made up of a thousand variants. My aim is to capture and preserve as many of them as possible and then recreate them on the mainland in the form of an audio installation. The installation will be a very personal creation, equal parts documentary and creative endeavor, transporting my childhood home to different points of the globe.
