1. Approach (1 minute, single channel HD video, 2014) evolved out of commission with the Indianapolis Airport Authority from 2013-2014. This is one of the videos selected by the Indianapolis Airport Authority to be exhibited on their large video display over the escalators in the main airport terminal. This work uses repitition to relate the awe of seeing a 747 aircraft land in close range. the footage is slowed down to emphasis how large aircraft really seem to defy laws of physics. This video is will be on display from July-Semptember 2014. The International Indianapolis Airport graciously made the exhibition of these video works possible. This work was supported in part by IUPUI’s Art and Humanities Institute..
2. In Transit (6 minutes, single channel HD video, 2014) evolved out of commission with the Indianapolis Airport Authority from 2013-2014. Two videos were created for their large video display over the escalators in the main airport terminal. This work is a more complex rendering of a video not selected by the airport of passengers and airport visitors rising up and going down the escalators to the baggage claim. Its somber mood reflects the polished beauty but also seeming endless loneliness of such grand architectural spaces modern airports create.
3. Gray Wing (1 minute, single channel HD video, 2014) is the second video that will be exhibited at the Indianapolis Airport from October-December 2014. Gray Wing uses mirroring and symmetry as a starting point to create a new visualization of what it looks like to observe flight from the perspective of a traveler. I have long felt a connection to the liberty and transcendence that traveling on airplanes brings to the individual. It is truly an amazing experience to be able to look out of a window at 30,000 feet and see the world below, but it is also one that most of us deem an ordinary experience of our modern lives.
