Julie Forand A buoy. Buoyant.

The edge of a lane from swimming lessons as children. In the distance, a marker delineating safety from the wild of hazards unseen. Able to rise and stay afloat just above the water. Moving with the waves but staying in place. Like a mist rising over the landscape, both visible and invisible. Changing. Revealing and hiding as our bodies rise and dive into the water. Each component: a silhouette of a buoy, infinitely reconfigurable like building toys in transparent, solid and reflective units. From afar it creates a fog, a cloud around the lifeguard station, like drops reflecting and refracting the light. You approach. Figures come into view, ever-changing as they interact with the installation. Finding the opening, you enter, experiencing the landscape through the new lens of the buoys. Changed. Obscured.
