Snow Projections

During the winter residency at Goddard I wanted to play with my new digital projector. I had the brilliant idea (if I do say so myself) of using the snow as a screen. I gave a couple showings of my videos on that surface to great effect. I particularly like the waterfall or memories of spring in the harsh wintry weather. Enjoy! This video was shot by my fellow student/friend Mark Andrews. Thanks Mark.

Rest Room Installation Video

t the last grad school residency I created a space for the students and faculty to contemplate and reflect. This is a video of both the room and the digital video installation.I have also included this video which presents the room in the daytime so you can see how inviting the space was for sitting and contemplation. Many of the students voiced their gratitude for this place of respite in the midst of the hectic and stressful residency schedule.

Reflected Water and Light

I have been recording video of water reflections and water's movement and these are just a few snippets that will be expanded into an installation exploring the phenomenal experience of water

Rounding the Bend - one of several videos taken of a canoe ride near our home. This video is 1 minute and 8 seconds long - I have compressed the file for web viewing, but prefer the full size version as it gives better definition to the ripples on the water, a major feature of these pieces. It is my intention to combine these images with images of streams, waterfalls and ripples on the ocean that I have already recorded to create an environmental exhibit with multiple projections happening at random intervals in a walled space with seating. The viewer would be encouraged to take in the imagery at an intimate level, preferrably close to lifesize, and enjoy the melodies of the water sounds along with the movement of reflections, water and light created by the videos.

Here are two more of the videos from this trip.




Ripple Effect- 1 minute and 6 sec




Rippling Trees - 50 seconds This video has a choppy cut about half way in due in part to the compression. I do however, hope to do better when I get more advanced editing software to work with these pieces.

This last piece is quite sloooowww, as it was intended. So settle back and see if you can discern the subtle movement of light and color. The movement was in real time. If you wish to see a speeded up version for those impatient souls, just move the slider and you will indeed see movement.




Prism Light - 4 minutes and 22 seconds

Canoe Ride

Here is a 2 minute 10 second experience of a journey on the water.
Cast of Characters

This footage may be destined for another peep show experience, not sure yet on what surface.

Additional footage was taken of the tidal waters and the dance of seaweed and other objects with rise of the waters.

Enjoy!
