Storm Road
During the Storm Road installation, visitors brought picnics to this beautiful location in central New York to watch, listen, and draw. Over the course of the second day, individuals made drawings of the installation. Each person found their own way to understand the architecture, sheets of paper, and landscap. The drawings contributed to documenting the provisional work and the individual perceptions of the materials. Puzzle scrambler's with Brummund's drawing of the barn were distrubited prior to the event to invite visitors to the open drawing workshop. This project was funded in part by the Cornell Council for the Arts and a New York State Council for the Arts Decentralization Grant.
A Technical Statement
In the series of time-based drawings of architecture, Brummund first makes a picture of the building either by drawing, digital collage, or photography. She then digitally enlarges the image to the same scale as the facade. Next, Brummund prints the drawing on sheets of letter-sized office paper. The sheets are hung methodically on the facade, and eventually the entire image is visible. The sheets blow in the wind, curl from moisture, and fall off. Over time the real building and the representation of the building deconstruct, and we are compelled to piece together a new picture of the building. Photographs and videos document the ephemeral installation.
