Convergence — where various media collide to synthesize and create expression.
Convergence — where various media collide to synthesize and create expression.

The work is my expression in photography and video art, through the improvisational dance moves and voice of performance artist Vicki Tansey.

My concerns are in the ambiguity and imperfection of language and the complexity of communication. Words that have been the accepted tool for expression either spoken or written, have often fallen short when it came to understanding between individuals or groups. Differences in culture, religion, social status or even gender, have contributed to misunderstanding and often causing conflict.

The photographs deliver a complex message that is not so much from the head as it is from the gut. Images that are left to the viewer’s interpretation,
they are the result of combining deliberate camera shake to continuous and expressive dance moves. With minimal direction, Vicki improvises dance to the sound of her own recorded voice.

As does dance, so my visual dictionary of body language transcends spoken or written word. It traverses intellectual boundaries.

This is a selection of photographs, which is the result of extensive editing from several hundred images.

Along with the material of this package, I propose to include a short video film (not yet produced). This will be my creation with the collaboration of Vicki, whereby I will film her as she dances to one of her own, improvised musical recordings. This will further investigate the expression in movement and sound. It will be a montage of imagery with Vicki at the center, as she gestures expressively in her improvised dance. The film will take place at a selection of locations that will be chosen for their personal significance in her life.
