Quest (2023no.11)
___________________________________________
My Digital compositions are sequences of interlocking still images and stop motion segments developed from digital photos and illustrations. The images are integrated with accordant audio tracks. I composite the stills into scenes and then tessellate the scenes into layers of patterned form. I allow the layered patterns to interact with one another other and evolve into an abstract composition. Compositions may remain abstract and open-ended, become cyclic or conclude with a pan-and-zoom back to the level of the scenes exploring the effect the interaction of patterns has had on the initial imagery.
Quest (2023no.11) explores the phases of a three-stage epic quest: Departure, Journey and Return.
Below is a video presentation of the image-sequence followed by a selection of still images from the composition's development thus far.
Thank you for viewing.
