Frenetic Illusion 2007 This work is a integrated sound and video work, which fuses dance, layered digital images, film footage and sound. The dancer (Sela Kiek) merges with my line and ink drawings and paintings. These multi-layered images ripple and distort as the dancer moves in and through cloth, reflecting the activities of insects or animals, constructing, burying, fixing and struggling to control its fragile environment. Frenetic Illusion explores the ephemeral, fragile, natural world and its ability to create complex structures that both sustain and ensnare its inhabitants. The piece echoes the natural cycles of growth and decay as the music, dancer and layers build and pulls apart sculptural forms with the cloth. The sound-scape, echoes the often-frenetic activities of construction and degeneration found in nature at the microscopic level.

A sound and visual composition, that explores images of flowing water, at first through painted cloth spinning through a washing wringer then actually to flowing water. The contrasts that float in the atmosphere surrounding the images and stills of both scenes are of tone, pulse, melody, and rivers.
