It's about time.

Time to finally get my ass into gear with my blog. Thankfully I've managed to fall into a steady, full time job this summer. However along with working, researching and squeezing more artwork in here and there, I have totally forgotten about my blog! SORRY! I promise to keep up with it from now on and need to give it some extra TLC. Once again I'll be posting everything and anything that inspires, influences and intrigues me within the world of creative minds. Peace.

Chimera.

For the End of Year Show, I decided to produce a short video piece influenced by the dreams I've had within the previous three months. I began documenting my dreams at the beginning of this semester in a pad now known as my 'Dream and Doodle Pad.' Alongside the text, I produced doodles as well.
I captured certain aspects from this pad and evolved them into visual reenactments, with the help of Amileigh Newson and Gareth Galley. I spoke over sections of the shots, to narrate them and to add more of a personal experience. This short film was 1 minute and 34 seconds long, as I wanted to portray the idea of loss of time during sleep. Dreams appear to last the entire night, however this is not the case. They usually vary from a few minutes long. The title of my piece is 'Chimera' as it's based on dreams, fantasy and delusion. The quick snapshots of the camera is to suggest the rapid eye movement endured during ones sleep and the reverse of the film is to portray one trying to puzzle together the dream, as I usually remember the end of a dream before the beginning.  

Above are two film stilts taken from my video, whilst it was playing at the show. My piece was shown on a projector in the Dark Room, along with three other artists' work.

Voila..

The End of The Year Show went really well, everyone did an amazing job. Got some great feedback from people, sweeeeet! :)

Jenny Holzer is an artist that I came across on Tumblr. I absolutely love her work and it really engages me to explore with a larger scale. Projection is also another intent of mine.
