Serendipity. This is the word that I feel resonates with me. Thoughts flow through me and all I can think is in moments. Again, dramatic lighting is gives me that "Ooooh!" factor. I take a mental note and think of instantly how can I apply these things or events to my works in progress. It's all a matter of filtering the constant barrage of messages that flood my brain. Making sense of all this communication, information and random antiquities. I seem to have a big problem with this. But I feel every time I write, every time I see a movie, watch something of thought provoking natures(such as Carl Sagan), and read books(such as Ishmael by Daniel Quinn) I feel my senses get a really small step closer to making my work make sense. After all, It's on now! It's a race to graduation from Art school.
On one hand, I feel thrown back in to the creative field of visual stimuli. It is all overwhelming sometimes. Two jobs, a loving girlfriend that I don't pay enough attention to. On the another side, I feel that my work after almost 9 months of being back in school, is actually feeling the best it has ever been. I have been sitting on tons of undeveloped 120mm film rolls and have been slowly getting them processed and finding images that I took almost three to five years ago. It made me smile to see images of people, places, moments that resemble something completely different to me now and create a new emotion. Some of solemness, some of "wow, Really?" As if it was just yesterday that I was in Arizona working at a school with all of my closest friends.
Things I am coming to realize about my art work:
My work needs to have raw human emotions
These could be suggestive movements of natural object
Actions of a present moment
such as a dance or a splash of water
throwing or breaking something
Crying,body motions of interpretation
Short tid bits of the actions that creates a lucid and detailed imagery for people. The reaction that makes you think and instantly realize that the underlying concept (whether complex or not). Realizing not eveyone is going to get what I am making in my work of short films, but making them so I can talk about them with a solid idea behind the work. Other wise, all is lost if I can't even support my own works.
So I will leave this post with one of my new works in progress. If you would like, please refference this post to my new video and se what formulates.
