Inspired by end-of-land vistas in the greater Puget Sound, David Kwan’s TERMINUS is an evolving tableau of the vast light, water and landforms in the area. He collects images and sounds at terminal points for various roadways, shipping and rail lines from the length of South Seattle to Orcas Island, and superimposes them in looped segments of disproportionate lengths to produce a continuously transforming environment. As component elements progressively enter and leave, the composite landscape and soundscape grow with determined complexity and organicism. The terminus of one passage heralds the beginning of another as all points become indeterminate.
