“Suspension Landscape After the Drought: Camera Views”  is an episodic video piece. In each episode there are rotating forms in orbit but without any apparent gravitational mass. This quality of floating in locked-time with false changing perspective is dream like. A kind of yearning is experienced in the roll and yaw of the forms, this is intended to be directly experienced.  The title references a suspended state of emptiness, stasis found after a “drought” a dark, non-fertile period. The viewing angle is intended to visually look like a satellite fly-by and that we are looking at another world. This outside view could be seen as an allegory for an estrangement or fascination in stuck-living and unknown futures, handily obscured by the daily “run of things”.
