Throughout this series I wanted to
create a sense of play in an altered environment. By framing the foreground, middle ground, and
background of vast landscapes I am trying to compress the viewer into a
restricted and altered world. In this altered
realm mundane and inanimate objects come alive and roam freely across the
landscape. The relationship between
these objects and their surroundings show a freedom from reality and an interaction
with the water, land and the air.
While creating this piece I wanted
to explore the space within a single frame and create a variety of movements in
motion that range in speed and, at times, defy gravity. The movements created show individuality and
a social interaction between the toys in motion. The experience the toys have with one another
and by themselves create a sense of beauty and connection between these man-made
objects and their surroundings.
There
is a sense of freedom in these framed and compressed environments as these
colorful balls float around the still frame.
This juxtaposition between these two opposites is something that I
wanted to convey and experiment with through this work. I want the viewer to experience the mundane
as a source of beauty through the interactions it has with nature and for the
viewer’s inner child to be awaken by the playfulness of these objects. Beach and Meadow:
