Spotswood cultivated Elsewhere’s second floor Glass Forest and spun a web in the canopy. The installation, A Woman, A Plan, A Forest, explores the notion of ritual within a shifting environment. In any place where the combination of people and things are constantly in flux, oscillations between order and disorder, calm and chaos, are inevitable. Is such a thing as a plan feasible within such an ecosystem? How sacred should this plan be?
C. Spotswood currently lives in Pullman, Washington, The Lentil Capital of the World, as she pursues her master's degree in fine arts. While she is a printmaker at heart she has most recently been utilizing video and installation as a means to explore the psychology of movement, pondering questions having to do with the oscillations to be found in one's propensity to move or stay still. Her investigations within Elsewhere involve a search for choreography. She looks to identify prescribed orders and disorders, visual patterns, social customs, and ultimately address the role ritual plays within the environment.
