Overview

Flex 2002, Duration 17 minutes. Flex primarily explores skin/surface movement and time. The film looks at skin through an abstract exercise in texture and light. It moves from short jerky fast movements to slow soothing movements. The film plays recognisable body parts against their abstracted movement. The synthesis and juxtaposition of the rhythmically moving body parts, recognisable and deconstructed, creates a specific tone in the viewers mind. The tone varies depending on what each viewer understands and perceives the content of the work to be.
