3rd-17th April, 2009, Toi Poneke Gallery, Wellington, New Zealand.
This solo exhibition represented about a year and a half of work. All of the works were abstract videos, presented as projections or on television screens, some with sound, and some silent. A number of different processes were used to produce these works.
Some of the works started with a recorded video, which was then manipulated digitally through various software processes until the source material was unrecognizable - but the particular events and rhythms of the original footage were still driving the time-based aspects of the work.
In other works, abstract soundtracks were first composed using certain pieces of software, and the sound was then used to create video using animation software. This created abstract video where the sound and motion were very tightly linked. The reverse of this process was also used for some works - using software that rendered sound from an image.
In the other silent works, hand-drawn scenes were animated using morphing software, or elements were drawn and animated directly in motion-graphics software. Other software was also used to unify the visual aesthetic of the works.
