With a population of fewer than 10 people, most of the main architectural structures in Woodrow are abandoned, and it is on the brink of becoming a ghost town. Woodrow is also artist Graeme Patterson's home town, and where he currently resides and works. The complex multimedia installation includes scale models of buildings and the use of animated and kinetic machinery, stop-motion animation, electronics and audio to bring the set to life. Includ- ed are the town's grain elevator, church, hockey arena, a barn, a machine shop and studio, a house and a set of grain bins. Romanticised memories of his family's farm inspired the moving images and audio that light and animate the scene. Images of animals and people project from within the barn, kinetic machinery can be heard in the grain elevator, a lathe and milling machine run in the shop, robotic pests make appear- ances, the heads and eyes of a group of deer are ani- mated by motion detectors and a 24-hour time lapse loop of a prairie vista extends the sculptural road in COLLECTION: NATIONAL GALLERY OF CANADA, OTTAWA the set.
