Murmur


Murmur
photography and video collaboration
November 2012

In the fall of 2012, I collaborated with a photography MFA major who took panoramic shots of a specific location in Edinburgh over a period of a week. I then spliced the images together creating three different quicktime videos and projected them on the walls of our gallery space. The images morphed and changed based on the time of day and weather, creating a surreal experience of someone actually being in that particular location.





The Saint of Leith

While living in Edinburgh, I was inspired by a story about the Scots' local saint, St. Triduana. Rather than marrying a Pictish King who was in love with her eyes, she pulled out her eyes and spiked them with a thorn vine and sent them to him. She did this so that she could dedicate her life to God.

Video Collage

Once I arrived in Edinburgh, I decided to create a collage out of footages of Uganda and their troubles, trials, and even just daily life. I aimed to create an abstracted image of someone, perhaps a Ugandan? Or maybe anyone?

Collaboration Dance and Video

Towards the end of my final year at Cornish, I collaborated with a dance student who had created his own choreography. From what he showed me, I then filmed and edited a video pieced based on his performance.

Three channel video

For my final year at Cornish, I was required to create a three channel piece which is, unfortunately, not posted on this blog. However, before creating the final video piece, I experimented with ready footage of my second trip to Uganda a few months earlier. It was a reflection of how much I had grown to love the people in Uganda based on the two trips I took there.

The Curse



The Curse was an AfterEffects animation project at Cornish College of the Arts about 4 years ago. We were required to choose a story, and I chose the story of Medusa where I used photographs of actors and statues mixed with video footage.
