Timoth茅 Born, Les Ramsay & Maurice Brault: Wind Shake
From as far as I can remember it was there. In the living room, the colorful set of houses warmed by the sun. I remember the texture at the bottom right disturbing me as a child. I remember the birdseye view on the suburban stacks, backyards interlocked. I remember being puzzled by the sharp angles, the depth of plane. In the back of every memory there it was.
Borrowing its title from a natural defect in wood caused by shock or strain, Wind Shake refers to a hidden fracture across the grain, a fault that weakens timber and is often revealed only through the act of planing.
Wind Shake revisits this image as a metaphor for memory: the tremor of something once felt, or the trace of a place one has never been in, dwelling in the fragmentary nature of recollection where small details, textures, and gestures become anchors to the past, exposing the fragile seams between remembering and remaking.
