Happy October!
Todays word is movement. motion. What it is and how it is effecting my work and what I want to do with it and what I'm trying to prove by incorporating it into my artwork. How's that for a run on sentence? My use of motion in the past was me moving the piece in front of the camera to create a blur of color. Paul had said that I need to make the motion more relevant to what I'm making. I think Paul is exactly right. I want my piece to become more of a part of the nature, not just sit on top of it. I want to SUBMERGE my work in it's surroundings. Well, what I've been thinking about a lot is water. The way water moves, the way the Earth is made up of it, many creatures have their beginnings in water, humans are full of water, etc. Well, water moves. And the movement of water is one that has been around forever...people love hearing the ocean, the sound of a river, watching running water...all of these things have fascinated mankind forever. I want to try and shoot my work in the water...being moved by water. I want the motion caught on film to come from this primordial beginning. I think that makes my use of color more relevant as well. Who's to say that the Earth didn't erupt from a burst of neon colors? No one fully understands, except for scientists and maybe fundamentalist religious people who think they know...so I'm going to tell everyone. It was neon colors, under water. and FIRE. Ooh, fire.
