reveille

Forming the second act in a series of sculptures, Reveille refers to the traditional wake up call of the military. This body of work is heavily influenced by music and its use in both daily and ceremonial rituals, its arrangement and notation, and the emotional and spiritual effect therein. The sculpture is in the form of a giant cloud or puff of smoke, surrounded by a fence, with a hexagon tile pattern on the floor. The intent of this work is to relate the history of Colorado Springs as a destination for tuberculosis patients with the bloody and violent westward expansion in the Pre-Civil War or ante-bellum years of the United States, described with such terrifying force in Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy.
