1/1 3840 x 2160 px 15-second video “The Portals: Kinesis – Falling Aspen, 10.03.2021, San Miguel County, CO” is a 15-second video segment documenting an installation of a physical Portal in the state of Colorado, United States of America, North America on October 3, 2021. The Portals, an ongoing, site-specific installation series by artist Blakeney Sanford, is an invitation to explore concepts of expansion and transformation at both the micro and macro scale. The vivid blue environmental installations encourage us to contemplate our presence in a specific place at a specific moment in time while simultaneously considering the possibilities of what might be next. The expansive series includes 2D photography, 3D installation sculpture, multidimensional NFTs, and conceptual gridwork. Through these mediums, the work creates a web of connection between the individual, the collective, the natural world, and the metaphysical beyond.
