Haint Blue is a color made from lyme and indigo. There’s a belief from the region I grew up in, that haints (bad spirits) don’t dare to cross water. So to keep haints out of your house, paint the doorways and windows in light blue to confuse them, to make them think it’s water.
Architectural intervention and audio installation about refusal and invitation :
Indigo pigment-painted wood slates framing 1646 gallery’s facade and interior window
Looped 15 minute audio piece installed above entryway of the gallery (original music compositions, field recordings, found sounds)
