Three LCD screens sit on the floor of the space, on the LCD screens are slow moving fluid images. You can't quite decide what the images are. They seem to be jellyfish-like objects floating through space. They start at one of the screens and then float through the other screens. The viewers experience becomes a bit like standing next to a river flowing through the space.

My practice explores how to evoke physical, felt experiences. This new piece is a series of works about the bodily experience of floating in water and the temporal experience of floating in time, which for me is an oceanic experience. Past works have explored these ideas with video and light objects. This new work is a return to working with video 3D animation
