Myth Shifter
Projection description: this video installation involves 4 half round wall mounted convex aluminum spheres, each with a unique video projection of animated sequences.
The images are abstractions taken from paintings and large scale drawings that are then animated from paper cutouts photographed and taken into photo shop and animated to pulsate, spin & move in random and frenetic order. The themes in each repeating sequence are based on aqueous and microscopic images that reference botanical and bio mechanical shapes and forms inspired from Navajo creation myth. An emergence myth that the Navajo people reference from an origin story that begins in the labyrinth of the underworld and emerges into this realm we call the glittering world.
