Artist Photo Representation

I'm not sure if this worked! If my photo doesn't appear and only the link, that's my representation of myself... technologically impaired!

synesthesia and cymatics

This is an interesting follow up to the Belazs article. The concept of Cymatics is precisely what I was battling... Balazs stated that sounds throw no shadow. Sounds cannot produce shapes in space. My opposition of several Balazs' theories were supported by Even Grants' demonstration of Cymantics...the visualization of sound. The use of a cymascope demonstrated the visual patterns of sound waves, backing up my theory. I even saw some shadow. As for Synethesia, I find it fascinating and confusing. It did bring about curiousity as to why we associate blue with cold, or red with hot? Blue is actually the hottest part of a flame, but fire is also considered orange, not red. Why? Who decides these things, how are they so inherent to us? Perpaps I'm a bit off course with that but feel it worth a mention. And the food association requires more time to digest. Would PTSD be considered synethetic? Would sudden sounds trigger associations with other senses fall into that catego...

Adventure Option 5: Surrealist Stop Motion Animation ???

I have question marks listed by Adventure Option 5 because I have trepidation taking on a stop motion animation considering the tedious process. I was unable to shoot a film that I conceptualized a while ago, but haven't shot a frame of it. My idea stems from the backstory of a dog I adopted but had to rehome. He and his brother were rescued from a landfill at 6 months old, and had the scars to show it. I thought he'd had found a forever home with me, but at the end of the day, this dog was meant to be an outdoor dog. He was so used to being outside where everything is fair game to chew or go potty on. We did tons of training and tried for 6 months, but I realized I could not offer this dog the life he deserved. He needed to be out and free and I couldn't provide that for him. Returning him to the rescue was a very low point for me, feeling I'd failed him. My heart ached that I had become a person I used to judge. I hated myself for months, until one day I heard from...

Meg's Presentation - Martha Colburn and Kelly Gallagher

I am grateful to Shannon for assigning me these two incredibly artists who have inspired me ever since I watch a minute of each of their films. The complexity of their work and devotion to ensuring a stellar product is something I have great respect for. I had a great mentor who would always say, "you can't rush art". I love that Colburn sometimes spends years on her projects and am in awe of her work in progress of the 52 minute stop motion animation, The Garden. After finding out Colburn was Gallagher's mentor, the commonalities fell into place. Gallagher did not create works mimicking those of Colburn, but used a lot of the same techniques. Since Colburn is 15 years older, Gallagher had the privilege of working with another strong female who had trailblazed this path. Kelly was blessed to have a mentor who had already figured out most of what works and what doesn't, so she had an advantage in stepping into this genre without having to do a plethora of tests. ...
