Glassground

2017

This non-commercial project was Houghton ‘in residence’ at home, using an abandoned green house on the farm to examine how the fluid and entwined relationship between the observer and the observed generates complex questions about a multi-layered work of art. The glass framework and its surrounding landscape were used to examine how a resident artist can occupy the liminal territory between interior and exterior viewpoints, and how the observer’s own sensory reception of the work could be shaped, in conjunction with that of any viewers. For this immersive experience Houghton created an indoor reservoir, filled it with 50,000 gallons of rain water, and then studied the changing qualities of light, space, and time, along with the natural effects of reflectivity.
