The Clock World

My latest animation in progress is entitled "The Clock". It is a subconscious reaction to the concept of time and a world that is ruled by an agreed system of time keeping. This thought snuck into the piece while it was being created. Perhaps it was the fact that I listened to two Radio Lab programs about the subject of "Time" while in the midst of the narrative content. Or perhaps it is a reaction to an existence being dictated by deadlines that are both self as well as socially imposed upon us.

The piece is still in progress and should be a self standing work that also supplies me for needed imagery that I hope to incorporate in future projects.

Next Set of Characters

I have always loved sculptures in their raw clay form. The material gives off a sense of life that is hard to reclaim after the piece has been through a firing. Using these images in digital media pieces allows me to hold onto the fluid nature of these characters. At least to some degree. Of course, the photograph itself filters the piece as well.

Nothing documents "now" perfectly. One moment a piece is made the next it is remade, remixed, newly made, always "now" but never the same.
