Thinking process-

What do I want my piece to say? How will the viewer be effected by the work? Was that my intention?

I have been looking at artists that use video/moving image as a medium and the origins of their ideas.

I can’t help but connect with artists who seem inspired by Surrealism and Dadaism.

I find in, Matthew Dalziel and Louise Scullion’s, “The Earth Turned to Bring Us Closer,” (2006) there are hints of surrealism shown through a distorted view. The use of Craig Armstrong’s composition, Memory Takes My Hand has a huge impact on how the work is viewed.

By taking into account what to film and what sound to use, directly contributes to how the work is viewed. The piece is presenting how short human life is, compared to the constant flow of the Earth spinning.

Dalziel and Scullion

I have been thinking about using my own photographs to create a series of videos.

I hope by using these images It will help me with understanding my past and certain things that have happen.
