Hurricane Irene Visits Sun Farm

An artist view of how forces of nature transform the landscape.
Excerpts from video and photographic recording of a 24-hour period during the passing of the hurricane in a land art project in the Hudson Valley.
Although less powerful than expected yet Irene brought high wind and a relentless gush of rain which eventually resulted in flood. The vibrant summer hues turned into unsaturated, almost grey, tones. As an artist interpreting and re-presenting video and photography recordings of "reality" I was very impressed by how transient weather systems can transform the "permanent" landscape.
The video photography is part of the ongoing project:
"Axes Mundi: Perceptions and Understanding of Places as Intersections of Space, Time and Culture"
