Windmaking
Experimental publishing, Performance
Windmaking is an experimental performance and publishing project exploring memory, nostalgia, and meaning-making through the unpredictable medium of wind. Three pairs of hand-made sled kites, each printed with fragmented poetic sentences, are flown from opposite ends of the Providence Pedestrian Bridge. As the kites meet mid-air, their separate phrases momentarily merge, forming cohesive yet fleeting meanings visible only briefly to spectators.
The project's public staging emphasizes the act of publishing as a live, collective event. Passersby spontaneously become participants in constructing meaning, experiencing the ephemerality and unpredictability symbolized by the wind itself.
