Ruth Jones’ recent video installations and public art projects have focused on the relationships between humans, animals and the land, and explored the magnetic pull that particular places have on people.
Vigil examines the presence that Strumble Head Lighthouse has on the landscape in North Pembrokeshire. The lighthouse was built in 1908, and its rotating beam can be seen for thirty miles in all directions. Every lighthouse has its own distinctive ‘character’, recognised by a pattern and duration of flashes, in this case, one flash every two seconds four times, followed by seven seconds of darkness. Jones’ project suggests that this rhythm has permeated the land for over a hundred years, seeping into the psyche of its inhabitants.
The installation also portrays the lighthouse as a threshold place, situated between land and sea, day and night and the human and animal kingdoms. Using Strumble’s regulated light pattern as a guide for editing both picture and sound, Jones’ film invites a quiet contemplation of the internal and external rhythms that influence our daily experiences, rituals and memories.
