PRISM SPECIES

 

Prism Species, a forthcoming (2026) three-screen video installation and collaboration with writer Terry Tempest Williams, unfolds as a quiet act of attention. A searching, shallow plane of focus and lingering pace draw the viewer into the temporal and sensory worlds of the non-human life along the sister shores of Great Salt Lake and Lake Superior. The work shifts each encounter away from subject and into interrelating kinship, accompanied by calls and textures from the natural world forming a soft acoustic envelope. Subtle movements of refracted light and panning across zoological specimens fold specimen-time into wild time, reminding us of the politics of control and protection alongside fragility and continuity. While climate collapse remains quiet within the work, the project offers a provocative politics of presence — space to simply be with these beings, sensing their life force and our shared, interwoven energies as a portal back into right relation.
