Motion Capture

I am absorbed in the magic of movement and light… (Martha Graham)

When I see a body move through space, it leaves a trail in my mind’s eye; the image lingers, slowly fading away. In this series, my goal is to interpret the emotions created in the telling of that story and reproduce them in print. I capture each fleeting moment in the tiny frame of the camera and layer them upon each other over and over again so as to re-create the emotions felt in that moment and create a story from those emotions. Once layered together, these short-lived moments become one continuous motion.

Nothing happens until something moves… (Albert Einstein)

Motion Capture will be touring the Prairie provinces from 2023 through 2025! Contact me to book the show in your community.
