Creative Collision

Cinema

This is some exploration I have been doing toward making my final installation. They are trials, but also using film as a means of drawing upon ideas. With my subject matter, that is most appropriate; photos and sketches can't bring in all of the feelings and cinematographic devices that can occur in a well edited film.

The precedent for this project was the music video for Twice by Little Dragon. I hope to post up some more of this work when it gets really interesting.

Cocoon

I found this corner somewhere along Queen Street, and I hardly ever miss a step for buildings done up in scaffolding, but this one was wrapped up so neatly that it came off as a regenerative cocoon. A practical application for Christo - if you went around all the buildings with these cocoons you'd have the surprise element down in urban renewal. Fingers crossed whatever they do to it is done well. We want butterflies not moths.

Slash

Viktor Timofeev is an artist who combines architectural exploration with paint and intense linework. His earlier work seems to gravitate toward a more raw approach; bare lines, technical drafting and slashes of paint work together to create a body of work that appears to inform his later projects even though it is stylistically quite different.
