Synopsis

This is an insightful exploration of the Range Light project by artist Kim Morgan. For Kim Morgan, the dilapidated range light that used to guide passenger ferries into a Prince Edward Island harbour is more than a memory of times past. Using latex rubber reinforced with mosquito netting, Morgan casts imprints of the exterior and interior surfaces of the range light. Embedded in the rubber are flakes of loose paint and faint impressions of graffiti which preserve a haunting trace of the building's descent from utility into neglect. Sewn together, the interior and exterior sections span sixty feet, incorporating more than 2000 square feet of latex. In its paradoxical expression of the relationship between inert materiality and living presence, Kim Morgan's soft architecture makes an unprecedented contribution to the scope of contemporary sculpture.
