An abstract film about how loss can transform the way someone views everyday life. Here the fabric of the earth has changed, and black holes have become a malleable substance used to attempt to suffocate pain and thwart the flow of blood to vital organs. Time shifts and slows down to the confines of living underwater – where the liquid surface is now so dense that it is possible to pierce it with a cold, sharp needle.
Artist Statement: Jessicas work to date has been predominantly film and, more recently, drawing and painting. Her collaborative work as a Cinematographer sometimes bleeds into her personal work encompassing her lifelong fascination with light and objects close-up. She is greatly influenced by folklore, psychology, metamorphosis and communication or lack of it. Her personal work usually draws aesthetically from surrealist painting and early expressionist cinema. |
