Divinity

16mm Film, 6 min., Sound, 2019

Lush nature as the ultimate form of vibrant femininity and divine energy presents itself in mesmerizing textures, patterns, and movements. Finding nature and observing as play, this piece is filmed through a double exposed ovular matte, and explores the intricate details of a texturally vivid landscape.


"Know the masculine,

but keep to the feminine:

and become a watershed to the world.

If you embrace the world,

the Tao will never leave you

and you become as a little child."

-- Tao Te Ching, Chapter 28


The soundscape of this piece was improvised with piano and guitar in response to the feelings elicited by the resulting visuals, and was made in collaboration with Brian Glaws.
