The above, are four sperate smaller pieces of the larger response to prompt 4.

Due to restrictions on file type and size by the hosting server, this was the best way to display the overall intent.

The finished piece would be a longer video loop. The loop will cycle through each of the fisher and fish specific locations in the overall pattern, depicted on the surface of the water / air, the third actor, the ‘Threshold Between.’ In total, they form a larger loop the entitled ‘The Fish, the Fisher, and the Threshold Between,’ McDonnell, 2021.

This response was screened in its entirety during the end of term potluck. Which was a really nice time.

A Gift for Rob

Prompt 1 – ‘The Opal Cone’

After hanging with Rob, both in the studio and the brewery, I got the feeling that he could handle himself in the outdoors. An avid surfer, climber and skier, he talked enthusiastically about the outdoor beauty of British Columbia. I share this love of the wild. So, it seemed straight forward to make Rob a gift related to the outdoors.

I had first thought of making a small piece of camping gear but, after some thought, it seemed like Rob, having worked at MEC, probably had all the gear he needed. Also, people can be a little particular about their own gear. Plus, I had a new idea of making a ‘map’ of one of my favorite multi-day hikes.

See Image Above.
