DARKLY FRINGE THE VIOLET SKY

A collaboration with British filmmaker Sapphire Goss and Seattle poet Shin Yu Pai — "I went down a rabbit hole, reading about flies and compound eyes (and how their eyesight works). This took me to other invertebrate creatures, including brittlestars — a kind of seastar...which made me think of childhood songs, about stars and light". The title of this work is taken from the writings of early English rural poet Edward Thomas. Thomas has an uncanny ability to modernise Victorian thought and float this on the surface of insightful observations of nature. Taking this as stimulus we created a series of images in both picture, word and sound that cast an abstract lens over a still forest in winter.
