    • Overview

    Synopsis

    Sleep is a metaphor for lack of hope, for energy that is inexplicably draining from you. Beyond caring, your passive body allows others to voyeur. A restrained pallet of only black, red, white and flesh establishes a controlled interior and a formative exploration of the soul.

    Spring

    • 2013
    • Brenna George

    In my video “Spring” I evoke the emotion of spring, where the bleakness of winter cracks open to the fragile but unstoppable bounty of springtime hope. I am playing with the flat surface of video and keeping the consciousness of the square and rectangle format. I am also subtly kaleidoscoping one's vision of the world as one's hope opens up. I have set a basic narrative structure of first comes love and then comes babies with the metaphor of the tree of life, the family tree.
