Four Ocean Stills
2006
16 mm film stills
Variable, each image 5 x 7"
Four Ocean Stills are four stills taken from my 16mm film The Sea Calls Us Home. You can view the film by selecting 'Film' at the top of my website.
In The Sea Calls Us Home, a lone figure wakes to find herself at the boundary of land and sea and longs to return to where the sea meets the sky. Situated in the liminal spaces of memory and dreams, and weaving allegorical narratives with historical events, The Sea Calls Us Home is the first film in a four-part cycle exploring how childhood memories shape adult realities. Flickering images suggest fragmented memories and the close integration of image with sound creates a strong emotional tenor and sense of place.
