These videos mimic how the eye sees when it takes in a painting, both optically, psychologically and, hopefully when seen in person, chemically, to induce joy/euphoria (serotonin; dopamine). Paintings need to be viewed in real life, the viewer must stand in their space to experience them fully, hence these videos intend to offer a more immersive online experience in their absence.

Follow below as the eye skims and pauses, goes in and out of focus, adapts to areas of high and low constrast, is pulled by impasto catching both real and painted light, becomes slowly aware of details initially obscured, is disrupted by the paint and motifs delaying the eye, making the work slower to read. Be attentive to the sensory experience of looking at art, and the escapism and solace it can bring.

Please put sound on. The last image is purposefully static, notice how lifeless, passive and closed it feels comparatively, it needs to be experienced instead in real life.
