Artist of Light
ARTIST's STATEMENT
Dance, music and light have always been the main driving forces behind my work. Music provides an emotional landscape from which movement is born, and light captures this movement.
I’ve always dreamt of painting music, and with light this dream has become possible.
When I first attempted to paint music I used painting as a medium, creating multi-layered calligraphy-like strokes on canvas or paper that captured my dance movements. As the expression of movement was limited to only a two dimensional plane, the two dimensional surface of the canvas restricted the freedom of movement. I was not happy with the end result, as a single layer of recorded dance movements made paintings seem too simplistic and unfinished, while multi-layering tended to bury what has gone before – that might have been worth keeping. This restriction of movement to a flat surface robbed it of its freedom. I wanted to dance on canvas as dancers do through space.
So I thought, how do I paint in three dimensions?
Light came to mind.
Once I started to use light to track my dance movement through time and space I really began to paint music and see my response to it in three dimensions, all thanks to long exposure photography. Long exposure photography allowed me to capture my dances within a 3 dimensional space on 2 dimensions without losing the record of what has gone before. Movement was no longer restricted by surface and I was able to come closer to capturing music, with time as its only limitation.
Now my work encompasses a number of mediums from video and live performance, to photography and digital artwork.
