WRACK LINE
FROM UNDER THE SEA WIND
DREAMSONG, 2024
Predominantly cast in concrete—a ubiquitous material of the built environment and a harbinger of ecological crises—Wrack Line (2024) traces the threshold where the sea deposits an array of detritus at high tide. Conceived as an archaeological site for future fossils, Horochowski’s installation presents a multitude of objects atop a bed of steel. A hand grasps a seashell; a discarded gas can bleeds pollutants; plastic bottles accumulate; driftwood is deposited ashore. The installation is animated by moving images that bathe the objects and scale the gallery walls while an immersive sound piece evokes the dissonance between anthropocentric progress and the natural world’s beleaguered resolve (produced with Ben Pagel and Joe Thoen of Artifact Shore).
