Artist Statement:

“Early Light” is part two of a three part series dealing with times of day and the seasons. The idea is to create a living manuscript of the impressions and memories of different seasons and how they unfold. Set in the morning hours, the work progresses from the end of winter through spring. The work is inspired by experiences of landscape as sensed internally and spiritually. These are interpretations of nature as emerging from consciousness and shifting in character. The source scenes are constructed from multiple photographs and video footage. The stills are animated through mattes of generated light, wind, and noise.
