Flight Path works
—

The Flight Path works attempt to create presence from absence: using systems, rules and materials to explore and fill the space between. Using a world map as a basis, each piece begins in exactly the same way: by drawing a single line from the city of each of the artist’s two childhood homes to the city where she resided for over fifteen years. In doing so, Scacco is claiming for her own the expanse of the Atlantic: the very distance that she has travelled so frequently yet never had the ability to explore.

These works attempt to attain the unattainable: to control an organic process, to create land from water, to find the ability to own time. While based on exactly the same path, the results change radically with each articulation: much like no two journeys are the same. Each time we go back, we are different. And so our experience and perception shifts with these movements in our own identity.
