River Notebook- Installation by Beth Haber and Stephen Lewis
at RiverWinds Gallery
"River Notebook" visually plays with the time honored practice of the Hudson River Valley of writing on, and reading the river. Here we continue the dialog between present and past .The pages of this "River Notebook" come from a series of "Flow -Texts" where paint flows and deposits its pigment on the surface of mylar leaving a tracery of its path- and imagines tactile archives (the books of earlier times) in a digital age. The actual text we use carries the words of Robert Juet taken from his journal of Hudson's 1609 voyage. Juet sailed with Henry Hudson on at least three voyages and is listed by Hudson as "The Master His Mate" The entries selected correspond to those written in the late summer of 1609 as the crew of the Half Moon sailed up the river and back in this season -exactly 400 years ago. Juet's phrases, observations and descriptions float and flow across the "page" screen. They can be read in multiple streams and like the river itself, flow both ways.
