Jas Lin —

The sea goat mirrors the land in a reciprocal topography, dwelling at the threshold between ocean and mountain, night and day, death and life, the unseen and the seen. It finds resonance in stillness and slowness, listening as bells dissolve into the wind and become a continuous reverberation of lineage and futurity. Lin’s red sleeves unspool time, stitching together cycles of loss and fertility, holding and releasing, remembering and resurfacing. Inspired by the rising and falling of the tides and the mythical goats of Goat Island that belong(ed) to no one, [sea goat] initiates a passage through the arched gateways of the Mendocino Headlands.
