These animated
pieces are 3 chapters in a fragmented looping narrative inspired by classic fairy tales, stories which have passed
through time by word of mouth, shaping our
earliest memories, while their universal themes and archetypal characters form part of
a collective memory. These stories include motifs of transformation and
redemption
which echo the transformative power of the creative process and the
fluctuating identity of the Self. The titles are taken from
scientific terms used to describe
the exchange between the dr and the patient in psychoanalysis.
The Time Speed
& Distance
calculations are one of the basic tools a sailor uses in navigation.
Using this simple formula
he can predict the time of arrival, the speed of travel or the distance,
and with a known heading,
determine an approximate position” This calculation parallels the
shift, flux and
actualization that occurs during the creative process in the search for
"enlightenment"
while the 'approximate position' is
an intriguing
metaphor for the location of the 'Self'. These 'moving pictures' use
fragments of narrative to map
this
journey.
