Viewing Proposal
The images in this series are all digital stills, but are meant to be shown on screen as a series of sequential images, something of a cross between a stop-motion animation and a slide show. This is a proposal for a viewing arrangement, with a place where visitors can sit and watch the images in a quiet, meditative way.
this is the bed
the bed, Mel, soft plants
wind-swept
shifting realities
getting out of bed
out of the bed but still in the hospital
more outside than inside
out, walking
new landscape
happy to be hiking
outside, but what's the bed doing here
back into the hospital for "just one more test"
tests
tests
leaving the hospital
coming home, to our garden
back home, in the garden
in the garden, Guan Yin
passing
passing
passing
somehow we're back here at the hospital, trying to leave from another side
barely enough light
trying to cross this shattering bridge
so much at once
deeper into the forest
collapse
hardly enough
without determination
at the edge of the forest
can this be so green
inside and outside
woodland
all in motion
into a new landscape
new journey
passage
visitors
the scene
still seen
Garden journals meet graffiti…a continuing exploration of botanical illustration with layers of plant, text, texture. This page is a work-in-progress place for me, where I post newer versions of the project…letting them breathe a bit of air outside of the studio. So the images here change fairly frequently as I revise and reconsider and add and subtract.
