Framed Environment




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.
