In Between the Outside-In聽that premiered at New Langton Arts, San Francisco, earlier this year. White's exhibition, I
n Between the Inside-Out, follows 聽her encounters with the ecology and cultures of the Sierra foothills during her residency at the For-Site Foundation in 2008. White's installation proposes new paradigms for art and landscape鈥攆rom digital imaging to earthenware ceramics鈥攖hat challenge the presumption of singularity in much site-specific art as encapsulated in Richard Serra's famous dictum "to remove the work is to destroy the work."White's practice is known for blurring any boundary that may remain between site and non-site, art and design, and the iconic and the everyday. Using a noninvasive data collection and mapping procedure, White had three-dimensional scans taken of an 800 year-old massive oak tree, a wild raspberry bush and a Manzanita grove in the landscape near Nevada City, California. White uses these topographical scans as conceptual source material, working with a Dreamworks animator and visual effects artist to create a series of color-treated, morphing point-cloud animations. Viewers enter into three glass trapezoidal chambers in which they become immersed in these images, surrounded by reflected and refracted light. Viewers are thus confronted with living organisms that are at once intimately known and yet untouched.
