Train

by Nicole Cox and Terra Peranteaux

​

Artists' Statement:

Many people struggle to find the point of trying, especially when on a path toward a predetermined destination. “Train” is a collaboration that explores one’s place and ability to impact the world. The piece began as a sound poem, and as words began to evolve out of the sonic qualities of “train,” the idea of trying came forward. We wanted to explore the combination of different art forms (music, stop-motion animation, and poetry), and how that union creates a new, unique experience for the viewer.
