Video, PrintDisplayed at Parallel Frontiers, 2015
Inspiration & Concept: This series is a study in amplifying moments of simple human expression. The inspiration was to take a fleeting gesture from randomly chosen video content, and extrapolate its motion and energy. It brings to focus the force of motion and variety of effects and changes on video due to various actions.
Process & Technique: This process of work is high risk and highly selective. This process repeats the latent energy within selected frames, stretching a split-second action across the spread of a canvas. The resulting glitched imagery is a vibratory echo of the original movement, sometimes evocative, humorous, or chilling. Celebration is the altering of gestures into a powerful, abstract expression of motion.
Message & Meaning: freedom of expression, value in the abstract, preserved energy, power within action
