Inspiration/Concept
Inspiration
Inspired by the work of Bill Viola “The Veiling” (1995). Focusing on the idea of how movement can create an experiential feeling by projecting it through the fabric and how it creates sort of a dream-like quality that almost comes to life.
Also inspired by the harmless eagle rays that frequent roams around Wellington Harbour. When alarmed, the eagle ray is known to produce a rate of acceleration by beating their large point fins like wings and disappearing into the depths.
Concept
Wander are a set of multi-layer frost cloth fabric placed closely together, the fabrics are tilted and layered to a specific position creating a 3D effect when projected. As the projection passes through each piece of fabric it separates different parts of the multi-colored animation through the fabric. Some parts of the eagle ray projection can be seen on the water, as the projecting lights pass through the fabric. The installation is very versatile since it’s not a whole conjoint piece but three layers of fabric are placed together. Positioned above and near the water around the dock poles, the sculptural video installations create a sense of out of water movement in a circular motion. Mimicking the graceful movements of the ray and capturing its movements as it ‘flies’ from frame to frame.
