Interview with Ann Ehringhaus, May, 19, 2021, Ocracoke, NC for Generating Forces: Sounds of a Submergent Eastern Coastline

Ann has been a published photographer and writer for years. Recently her first book of poetry was published in 2020.

Generating Forces: Sounds of a Submergent Eastern Coastline is an audio experience and archive by sound artist Vaughn Whitney Garland exploring the current changes of the United States Eastern Shore, Mid Atlantic Region. This multi-disciplinary work encompasses field recordings from sites along the coastline as well as interviews conducted with local/regional naturalists, field experts, and residents. Due to the rapidly changing coastal zone this audio archive is a reference to document the sounds of the Submergent Eastern Coastline and to amplify the efforts of the people navigating the changes on the land.

An ocean wave's "Generating Force" is that force which acts upon the natural cycle of that wave. Oceanic generating forces may be winds from storms, the moon's cycle, earthquakes, sea level rise or Eustatic sea level rise. As Climate Change increases the generating forces of coastline waves, the effects from sea level rise and increasing intensity of coastal storms are altering the landscape at a faster rate and threatening many diverse ecosystems.

The Ecology of the River and Shoreline: A Sound History for the Trail of the Pony Pasture Rapids 

RightHereOnce.org

Travel through time and examine how the Pony Pasture area of the James River Park System as well as the river’s current route have been shaped by both floods and human impact. When people drained swamps to plant crops, animal and plant life changed over time in reaction to this activity. Tour the Pony Pasture to have a look at how life has evolved along the banks of the James.

Written and narrated by Ralph White, produced and developed by Vaughn Whitney Garland for Right Here Once (righthereonce.org/). Generous support for this project provided by the Friends of the James River Park (jamesriverpark.org/).

Begin your tour in the parking lot of the Pony Pasture, 7310 Riverside Dr.

WARNING!!  (Please keep track of your cellphone’ battery life; this tour may use a good amount of battery power.)

Walking Time- 1.5 to 2 hours.

One Pride Many Voices:
The LGBTQ Race Art Project: A Conceptual Art Show Created
to Celebrate the Bridge Between.

Audio recorded and interviews conducted on March 24, 2019
Diversity Richmond
by Vaughn Garland

Exhibition Content:
Five LGBTQIA+ Richmond Residents randomly sat together at a Diversity Race discussion group in 2018. With a chance meeting, the group decided to step outside of their usual friend groups and purposefully connect every two months to talk. Talk turned into
purpose, a race project was discussed, which evolved, participation grew in numbers, and the project was implemented.

Photographs were solicited from the LGBTQIA+ public. Artist Micah David Scott was chosen specifically because of his personal work with Identity, skin and the human form.

The artist interpreted the photos into large-scale line drawings that would be used as tools to further group discussions on Race. The original five participants in the Race Discussion group then partnered with another group. That group created a public event, “The Community Conversation on Racism and Racial Bias”. During the second community race discussion, the drawings could be reached by all persons seated at a round table. Colored pencils were made available.

The Drawing, Listening, Talking, technique was used for the public event group work. This experiential component was an opportunity to save space for the technique of mentally ‘Holding’ and ‘Being With’, another human being: an essential part of the
therapeutic process. Participants drew, colored, or wrote. No special artistic ability was necessary. The stark line Drawings were manipulated by the public while dialogue about Race took place.

Recordings by professional sound Artist Vaughn Garland were made. As people were leaving the public event each was asked how they felt the table discussions on Racial Bias went. Out of 50 people, 10 shared their interpretation of the discussions. This is a combined segment from the 10 recordings.

The drawings and audio are being shared here and heard together. The idea is for this concept to be used, extended, added upon, copied: every year as an evolving story line.

Says Martin Luther King Jr.: “An individual has not started living
until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic
concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.”
