1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,640 Narrator: I've been collecting images, putting things into books since high school. Before it was more about coming across an image and putting them aside, then looking for specific samples. I've been thinking about where the ideas come from. 2 00:00:07,529 --> 00:00:09,189 3 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:11,880 4 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:16,500 5 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,400 6 00:00:29,409 --> 00:00:31,069 7 00:00:31,069 --> 00:00:31,839 8 00:00:32,759 --> 00:00:36,380 9 00:00:36,380 --> 00:00:38,900 10 00:00:48,910 --> 00:00:52,510 What the source of information and inspiration was about. I;m really drawn to images that are very full, because 11 00:00:52,510 --> 00:00:55,559 12 00:00:55,559 --> 00:00:57,839 I'm really drawn to images that are very full, and very packed; because I want to feel strong and present in the work. 13 00:00:58,020 --> 00:01:01,060 14 00:01:04,930 --> 00:01:07,490 15 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,120 16 00:01:11,340 --> 00:01:14,440 17 00:01:15,220 --> 00:01:17,360 Most of them come from the interenet, some are from space and some are from travels abroad. 18 00:01:22,780 --> 00:01:25,220 19 00:01:25,229 --> 00:01:26,810 20 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,040 21 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,240 22 00:01:37,460 --> 00:01:39,820 23 00:01:39,820 --> 00:01:40,980 24 00:01:41,540 --> 00:01:44,460 Collecting them, and storing them is just about work that vibrates from you, that you say "woah that is so powerful, you are moved by it and changed by it." 25 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,560 26 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,229 27 00:01:54,260 --> 00:01:56,680 28 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,659 10 years ago I would look at my images as thought they were breadcrumbs, which caught my eye, which are interesting and why. 29 00:02:03,659 --> 00:02:06,059 This is an old portfolio of mine from 2009 in India, I 30 00:02:06,060 --> 00:02:07,980 31 00:02:09,100 --> 00:02:10,520 32 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:11,600 33 00:02:12,340 --> 00:02:15,380 34 00:02:18,540 --> 00:02:21,590 35 00:02:21,590 --> 00:02:24,400 36 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,180 37 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,280 This is an old portfolio of mine from 2009, in India, I visited Jaipur and New Dehli, it is lots of imagery similar to textiles and farming. 38 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,960 39 00:02:44,890 --> 00:02:49,150 40 00:02:50,340 --> 00:02:51,940 41 00:02:53,380 --> 00:02:55,500 This idea came back into my work 6 years later. When I looked at the 6 sided work, the energy of the hexagon. 42 00:02:55,510 --> 00:02:58,790 A body of work developed. one way the work seemed so slow, 1 year equals one show. It is the state of mind of my life. The process is a learning tool. 43 00:03:01,100 --> 00:03:04,800 For my show, I think of vibrations, sound waves, specifically volcanic vibrations. 44 00:03:04,810 --> 00:03:07,150 the Krakatoda specifically because of how far reaching it was. Every thing is vibrations. 45 00:03:08,260 --> 00:03:09,720 Everything is made up of waves of energy. things in life have a hum; and there is a way to visually represent that. There are patterns to motion. 46 00:03:09,730 --> 00:03:11,650 When I look at the drawings, and the most successful, it feels like they hum and vibrate in a way that the energy is translated in the correct way. It takes on its' own life. 47 00:03:11,650 --> 00:03:14,110 What is so interesting about the creative act is that you can access something comepletely outside of you; and it then becomes a reference of your work. There eventually is some unifying force. 48 00:03:14,110 --> 00:03:15,890 If you offer yourself up as the hands for the work, it sometimes has it's own language. 49 00:03:16,920 --> 00:03:19,280 For some reason I had an image of the eyeball, if you think of the pupil as the ego, and the iris as the 50 00:03:20,140 --> 00:03:21,719 51 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:25,080 52 00:03:25,460 --> 00:03:28,620 53 00:03:29,390 --> 00:03:31,170 54 00:03:33,180 --> 00:03:34,710 55 00:03:36,460 --> 00:03:37,920 56 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:38,959 57 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,120 58 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:46,980 59 00:03:46,980 --> 00:03:50,180 60 00:03:50,620 --> 00:03:53,019 61 00:03:53,020 --> 00:03:55,900 62 00:03:57,069 --> 00:04:01,319 63 00:04:01,319 --> 00:04:03,219 64 00:04:03,819 --> 00:04:06,670 65 00:04:06,670 --> 00:04:10,120 66 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,300 67 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,260 68 00:04:26,260 --> 00:04:28,280 69 00:04:28,280 --> 00:04:31,720 70 00:04:32,460 --> 00:04:37,100 71 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:39,320 72 00:04:39,330 --> 00:04:41,410 73 00:04:41,410 --> 00:04:44,380 74 00:04:44,380 --> 00:04:48,160 75 00:04:55,500 --> 00:04:57,000 76 00:04:57,900 --> 00:05:00,320 77 00:05:02,820 --> 00:05:04,400 78 00:05:05,030 --> 00:05:08,690 79 00:05:11,300 --> 00:05:12,880 80 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,780 81 00:05:18,500 --> 00:05:21,320 82 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,600 83 00:05:32,610 --> 00:05:33,600 84 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,000 85 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,860 86 00:05:42,220 --> 00:05:44,680 87 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,820 88 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,160 89 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,140 90 00:06:05,180 --> 00:06:08,000 91 00:06:08,010 --> 00:06:12,710 92 00:06:14,180 --> 00:06:16,620 93 00:06:16,620 --> 00:06:18,580 94 00:06:19,660 --> 00:06:21,920 95 00:06:21,930 --> 00:06:23,880 96 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,620 97 00:06:27,580 --> 00:06:31,860 98 00:06:31,870 --> 00:06:33,440 99 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,080 100 00:06:36,620 --> 00:06:38,700 101 00:06:39,940 --> 00:06:44,000 102 00:06:45,980 --> 00:06:49,680 103 00:06:50,420 --> 00:06:52,440 104 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:58,060 105 00:06:58,070 --> 00:07:01,110 106 00:07:04,150 --> 00:07:05,290 107 00:07:05,290 --> 00:07:10,030 108 00:07:10,660 --> 00:07:16,140 As energy outside of yourself. You start to build a relationship of this awareness. The work is not coming from your ego, it is coming from some universal energy; and that relationship is so sacred. Findind what those really interesting relationships are are like memories. 109 00:07:16,710 --> 00:07:19,560 So if I have a bad memory, and I use these images, it isnt about the memory any more; it loses it context. 110 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,560 111 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,720 112 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:36,680 113 00:07:39,060 --> 00:07:42,680 114 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,130 115 00:07:44,130 --> 00:07:45,630 116 00:07:46,380 --> 00:07:49,540 117 00:07:50,860 --> 00:07:54,060 118 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,900 119 00:08:01,540 --> 00:08:04,200 120 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,300 121 00:08:22,070 --> 00:08:23,410 122 00:08:23,410 --> 00:08:25,650 123 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,980 124 00:08:30,060 --> 00:08:32,960 125 00:08:33,380 --> 00:08:35,440 126 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,100 127 00:08:40,100 --> 00:08:40,780 128 00:08:40,780 --> 00:08:42,780 129 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:45,500 130 00:08:45,660 --> 00:08:46,820 131 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:48,080 132 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,220 133 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:52,459 134 00:08:52,620 --> 00:08:54,660
