The dictionary term for “foreshore” is described “as the part of the shore that is between the high-water and low-water mark”. It is the negotiated space between land and water; an in-between zone that is unfixed. The video Foreshore presents images and sound recorded in remote Northwest British Columbia, an area of pristine beauty where aboriginal and non-aboriginal communities have experienced “boom” and “bust”. The video employs abstract imagery interspersed with documentary footage and sound that are interlaced/interwoven/layered providing a montage of contemplative juxtapositions highlighting “textures” of conversations, materials, sound, and movement to poetically and aesthetically evoke a sense of a remote place and uncertain time.
