These videos echo the technical and thematic visual disruptions in my work and simulate more accurately than static images the mechanics and psychology of the eyes as they perceive and navigate images. Looking at paintings is a sensory, bodily experience requiring physical presence to encounter them fully. These videos aim to offer an enriched online experience in their absence. 

As you watch, notice how the ‘eye’ skims, pauses to absorb information, goes in and out of focus, and adapts to areas of high and low contrast, is pulled by impasto that catches both real and painted light, and becomes slowly aware of details initially obscured. The paint and motifs disrupt the eye’s movement, slowing the reading of the work. Enjoy the immersion close looking can bring.
