“Soon Now”
I’m looking to create a circular vortex projection, a dimensional portal that dissipates the solidity of a wall with vivid colors and subtle ethereal images that swirl through the textures. The intention is to make something that is both surprising and beautiful, that opens up an opportunity to dream through a transcendental experience
Creating a hidden dreaming space may sound corny, but dreaming is essential. It is our true nature revealed to us in childhood, day dreaming in the classroom on a rainy afternoon in June. And we need to dream, now more than ever as society as we know it is simultaneously crumbling and evolving before our eyes.
Our universe in indescribably complicated and mysterious and yet our day to day experience is that of familiarity, very rarely do we have a sense of awe about the world around us; and yet what seems mundane is far from it. It looks as though we are at an epoch of scientific discovery, where it is possible to travel faster than the speed of light, the God particle has been discovered and our reality is shifting as we understand that 99.99999% of everything is pure energy and information. Our solid foundations are starting to dissipate.
I’m interested in installation work because of it's potential to transform our perception of ordinary spaces into something more extraordinary, a glimpse of a new reality.
This installation attempts to break down familiarity and reveal a hidden world, a transcendental micro/macro Technicolor vortex, a dimensional portal for the viewer to dream about the fluidity of the universe and its endless mystery.
I have included a link to previous work that I began working on these concepts during my Masters, It received some positive feedback and has been something I’ve been looking to develop further, to see how far I can push the idea of dissolving solid forms with the moving image.
I already have the material to create the film itself, and then all I would need to exhibit would be a projector. The installation works better in darker places, and ideally somewhere a little hidden away, so that it is discovered as opposed to displayed.
