Description:

Early Light is part two of a three-part series dealing with times of day and seasons. The idea is to create a living manuscript of the impressions and memories of different seasons and how they unfold. The work, which progresses from the end of winter through spring, was inspired by experiences of landscape as sensed internally and spiritually. These are interpretations of nature’s emerging and shifting consciousness. The source scenes are con­structed from multiple photographs and video footage. The stills are animated through mattes of generated light, wind, and noise.
