Water Country, 2020
Analogue Stereoscopic Film, Digital Collage in animated GIF format
The Water Country series came out of the first months of Covid-19 Shelter in Place. I wanted to create artwork that was easily shared and sent through the phone, a device and means of communication that suddenly became so important to feel connected and in touch with my loved ones. The process is a combination of found, archived analogue stereoscopic imagery and digital collage in GIF format. A through line in my work plays with water as a source of recreation, cleansing, transformation and yet also the impending doom of rising sea levels and clean water scarcity. There's an absurd irony in the rapid growth and ever increasing investment in digital technologies that rely on electricity and the escalating threat of a flooded future. And in this regard, what will be the lifespan of this digital artwork?
