7m 8s
This video is part of a body of work that is based on an ongoing interest in the rhythm and visual poetry of natural light. The seamlessly looping imagery used points to an idea of ‘deep time’, and whilst celebrating the beauty that can be found in a heightened awareness of the present moment, it also alludes to the brittle fragility of our constructed environments and social systems.
Created using image sequences photographed on the occasion of the winter solstice, this 2 channel video projection depicts coloured light and translucent paintings projecting a repeating cycle of silent stories into a meditative space.

Numerous simultaneous drawings combine to build a chiaroscuro image of foliage and flowers. Visible are gestural lines of light, outlining and highlighting objects otherwise embedded in darkness. The constantly moving cursors reminiscent of the molecular energy found in all things.
