Through media objects, Iām addressing the precarious state of being out-of-body in order to consider how we manage physical and mental trauma. The wall-mounted objects in the Waves series offer abstract video content on household digital photo frames encased in fiber. Silk gauze and wool felt lattice present as ethereal appendages to the haunting little screens. Viewers are encouraged to lean in close to catch glimpses of the lush video and oddly warbling sound. The felt appears to be lit from within as the video saturates its fibers. The video content for all works in the Waves series was produced in the same manner. Since 2015 I have been experimenting with the real-space simulation of computer-generated special effects using handwoven textiles I create with mirrored mylar. All video is shot in slow-motion while I physically manipulate the woven mylar draped on a green grape arbor wet with dew and blanketed with sunlight. The sound is simply the slowed buzz of the bugs and birds of the arbor. At a time of perpetual shared trauma, I offer this work as a space for healing, rest and beguiling bliss.
