Letters to the Sun 2010
Heliography, Poetry and Performance
During an afternoon in Alaska at the Homestead artist residency, Jennifer wrote and beamed haiku poems to the sun using a found car side-mirror, sunlight, morse code, and found work station (built by Garett Yahn).
Letters let thoughts breathe
The sun reflecting light moves
Toward and through
Clouds move with the light
Letters bounce the sun once twice
Moving cranes across
Diagonal moves
Informs cranes across the bog
I sit and watch curious
Small trees brush and moss
Soil breathes air quietly
July insects hum
