"Tidal Interface" and "Marsh Interface" at Kjerringøy Land Art Biennale 2013

"Tidal Interface" by Thorjussen and Lawrence

Kjerringøy Land Art Biennale

TIDAL INTERFACE + MARSH INTERFACE
Interface (Eng.) [n. in-ter-feys; v. in-ter-feys, in-ter-feys] noun.

1. a surface regarded as the common boundary of two bodies, spaces, or phases.
2. a common boundary or interconnection between systems, equipment, concepts, or human beings.
3. a thing or circumstance that enables separate and sometimes incompatible elements to coordinate effectively

In this project we used the liminal area in which high tide and low tide interacts. In high tide Tidal Interface is covered by water, in low tide it becomes a place where people can sit and interact with each other or with the spectacular nature. The stone circle is created for the elements air and water.

Marsh Interface is created with the intention of subtracting and opening up rather than adding and building in space.

The stone circle and the marsh circle is equal in dimensions, however their function and form is to fulfilleach other. Both works are created by looking at and listening to the characteristic and spectacular nature of Nevelsfjorden at Kjerringøy.
