In The Works

I am developing dance/movement oriented installation elements from repeatable units  (one identity) to combine with pre-existing installation elements drawn from artifactual icons, such as animals from rock art (another identity).  
For shapes to start with, I am looking to dress forms in Degas' paintings and pastels of dancers, and also based off these paintings, to isolate one body sectional form to serve dual roles as the upper and lower body.  For movement, I am working with flow movements inspired by those in Matisse's Dance, trying to perfect my own flows with limited forms, and continuing as I do to consider ways to employ animation strategies to relay movement in a still frame.
