Untitled II




So, this next video in the series was supposed relate the "man made" landscape and the "natural" landscape. To me both are natural as everything comes out of nature, but it's not always seen that way. I tried to convey this in the form of a city skyline that continually emerges out of and back into natural elements. At one point in the middle of the video I reference the pattern of snake skin/scales. Here I was trying to make a connection with the natural order in the pattern with the organic pattern in cracked concrete that is super imposed over the scales. Also the snake has always been a symbol of power, danger and potentially healing. All of those things are true also of modern day society and modern technology.

After seeing this in critique I notice many areas that needed to be reworked, it was definitely not a point where I'd want to display for Luminaria. It will be revised and hopefully get to where I want it.

Sorry again everyone that I won't be around for the show, I know it'll be an awesome event and I wish I could see everyones work in it. Hmmm, maybe someone can document?
