Summary

This curated exhibition invites viewers to explore the intersection of water, rock, and sound through Anchorlight's solo work at Barton College. The 2019 installation, *Like Sound Through Water*, utilizes a 20-foot-long concrete pipe to channel natural flow, transforming it into a sonic canvas for abstract expressions. Visitors can witness the artist talk, process, and perform works from the Spring 2025 residency, ranging from *Take Project* to *Make Take*, exploring how music and form become metaphors for the viewer's own experiences. The 2019 work *Shaleigh Dance Works Performance In Response* offers a theatrical dialogue between the artist and the audience, inviting a deep reflection on identity, resilience, and the human condition within the specific context of the exhibition's timeline.

The exhibition also highlights the artist's commitment to physical engagement, showcasing a live dance performance and a process-as-a-reflective talk that invites dialogue between creator and audience. Throughout these sessions, the work serves as a powerful metaphorical anchor, allowing viewers to connect with the physical and emotional landscapes created by the artist. As the artist addresses the reception, *Like Sound Through Water* serves as a foundational meditation on fluidity and form, guiding the public in an exploration of sound as a metaphor for human interaction. Through this curated collection, the exhibition aims to create a shared moment of inquiry, where the interplay of water, sound, and dance fosters understanding and contemplation on themes of identity and resilience.
