It is an example of my preoccupation with synthetic, formal elements which co-exist within a natural landscape. These forms contrast with their environment and create ambiguous scale and functional references. Are they signifiers of inhabitation past or present and is the landscape terrestrial?

This piece combines 3D animation with digital video footage and can be seen as a representation of part of a long journey where the traveler falls in and out of dreamlike states - where normal consciousness is replaced by fantasy.

The visual structure of “rorrim” consists of two separately made images which, when combined, give the illusion of an abstract landscape and it’s reflection. The viewer, through their own associative references, makes links which give a cohesion to the otherwise separate elements. “rorrim” inhabits the liminal space between representation and recognition; it is an interior drama of revelation and reflection in which the viewer sees only their own constructing (and constructed) gaze rather than the visual surface behind which such processes ae normally hidden from conscious view. The soundtrack reflects this interiority; most events are placed in the centre of the stereo range - as if they are emanating from within the viewer’s head. They are perhaps the accompaniment to contemplation rather than adjuncts of the graphic phenomena. This short extract is from the first section of the seamless tryptic.
