Fountains
Fountains, 2014, single channel HD video installation, silent, cast glass and aluminum chain Installed at Arthur Roger Gallery, January – February 2015 “In Fountains, 2014, swooping aluminum chains connect a collection of cast glass bottles, arranged like a chandelier on the wall. The projection of a silent but frenzied flow of water animates the bottles and delicate metal chains, running up, down, and bubbling inside the bottles.

Gushers
Gushers, 2010, single channel video with sound, speaker parts, 40″ x 54″ x 14″ This installation was inspired by my childhood experience of aquatic lillies. “Struck by how the plants co-existed with oily sheens on the waters of the Pearl River, Egan recreates the impression here. Using electronic buzzing and popping sounds the plants appear to grow from the speakers, reminding us that nature can be mimicked with technology, but, ultimately, we cannot reinvent nature.” – Lee Gray, curator, Hilliard […]
