Journey, 2016
This is the first video that I made of myself cutting faux fur, a reversed painting gesture that I have been practicing for the past six years. I wanted to show the violence in the scissors' cuttings sounds that contrasts with the softer sounds of nature that travels through the winds and the fields. Blossoming movements of the flowers are combined using the transparency tab in Final Cut, as well as reversing a couple of them that layers with fabrics - my underwear and clothing. The flowers are accompanied by percussions that moves up a key in sequence, ending in the last white flower that blossoms in reverse - looking through time into the past and the future, becoming a little girl again, while bringing up the idea of a wedding. 'Journey' is a projection of self that is infused with feminine themes.
Stunning: and such an interesting juxtaposition between the fabrication or making through shearing and cutting and the organic teleology of the flower. Are our lives additive or an edit, a cut?
