Syllabification: (clas·si·fi·ca·tion)
Pronunciation: \ˌkla-sə-fə-ˈkā-shən\
noun:
systematic arrangement in groups or categories according to established criteria:
Classifications is a compilation of journal entries accumulated over the course of a year. These entries are abbreviated and are represented by incomplete sentences, quotes, or poems. Each entry depicts an event of the artists life as either being pleasant or unclassified. It should be noted that the artist has not written all of the proceeding passages and credit remains with their respective authors; they are solely mentioned in reference to the memories of the artist.
The intended location for the work is within Rancho San Rafael, at the wetlands region of the Evans Creek Trail. The location was selected on the basis of abandonment; not only is the space isolated from the populace, but it carries a narration for what was once there. With personal entries of an individual resonating in the right audio channel from the past, the space allows for the memories of the artist to be revisited, as if they had occurred and lingered in the vacant and deteriorating location from a time long ago.
The work was created as if it were to be installed in the space and continuously played, as opposed to leading a viewer from one location to the next.
If at any time a viewer feels discomforted, do not adjust the volume of the work; instead, remove the right headphone.
