Product details
"No one thought he was who he was. But he was." - Rodney Hall
Fairweather is a new collaboration of composer Erik
Griswold, author Rodney Hall, and artist Glen Henderson exploring
the remarkable life, work, and psychology of artist Ian
Fairweather. This multi-media work is scored for string quartet,
koto virtuoso Satsuki Odamura, with Rodney Hall himself as
narrator, framed by Henderson's evocative video works.
Starting from the artist's early years in Scotland, Fairweather
traces his experiences as a soldier in World War I, his myriad
travels through the Asia-Pacific, his life changing journey
aboard a home-made raft, and his final years in a dilapidated
shack on Bribie Island.
Reflecting on scenes, events and images from the artist's life,
Griswold, Hall, and Henderson create a collage of music, text,
and image which mirror the intricate, textured layers of
Fairweather's paintings.
