TIDEPOOLS STILL REMEMBER THE SEA
I wanted to explore the idea that a tide pool remembers its past life
in the ocean, fragmented memories of being part of something vast
and unfathomable, before it was trapped by the boundaries of its
new body.
I used glass pieces to work with sunlight and the movement of water, using the glass as a lens to capture footage. In the first experiment, I edited this dreamscape into a new, digitally mediated tide pool— a circle—and projected onto a sandblasted circle within a pane of glass I cast. The result is a digital tidepool caught in a sheet of simulated frozen water.

I also explored this another way through layering and collage. I wanted to create the feeling of a portal, or spirit, something organic
flitting through the landscape. The footage was created manually,
then I digitally layered and animated the portal spirit.
