Between Thoughts
|
|
Artist Statement: "Between Thoughts" is a multi-layered stream of consciousness exploration of the myriad of impressions that can course through us in the creative
moment. While working in collaboration with celebrated Los Angeles
choreographer Loretta Livingston and Dancers, I became fascinated with the
impulses and movements of dancers working in an improvisatory style.
Watching them and their rapid movements created in an instant and then
immediately evolving into other physical expressions and rhythms I began to
see relationships in time, the nature of what really in us thinks and
creates, and how our mind constantly weaves through us glimpses of past,
present and future visions, dreams, fears, losses, whispers and echos while
simultaneously wrapped in a present occupation. What resulted is a visual
poem on art-making that traces through sensual, natural landscapes,
elements, disembodied movements and surreal imagery keyed to a hypnotic
pulse.
I have always been deeply interested in ideas about perception and states of
mind and have explored them through the marriage of nature and technology.
In this I wanted to create textual layering, a meditation in which neural
pathways fire before the mind realizes and yet the metaphors in the imagery
are slowed to the pace of a deep memory. The cycle of creation therefore
begins before the first thought ends.
