Visual songs of light and memory

"Messages in code which are sent to us in barely
registered events, sacred codes from vast ceremonies
preceding human presence"-Robert Robertson-filmmaker and author

"The expansive water imagery is captivating, as we watch the sea-life revel in the calm waters. The overlaid sound is hypnotic, providing a thread of constancy as the visual narrative progresses from exterior to interior. The lamp and picture dissolve and blend into one another, suggesting a dissolution of boundaries, but in doing so, an elemental onslaught is allowed entry. Is Flaubert responsible? That is, do words usher a maelstrom of emotion and cognition? The ideas of those artists before us are capable of inspiring a rising storm within us. Therefore, the internal/external “set” pieces become representative of the internal/external realms of personal existence. The borders of calm are overrun by the winds and rain of inspiration and ideas as reverie gives way to action. The abstract image coinciding with the aural effect is arresting, for it focuses our attention on a process that vacillates between dormancy and action; it [the image] is the “raging gale,” but how ingenious to represent the height of motion with stasis. We appreciate the unabashed, unfettered freedom of the storm more so in its stationary state; contrasts allow for a deeper understanding of both objects/subjects used in the comparison. Hence, the cozy interior suggested by the lamp and picture indicates something deeply personal and illuminating, a condition within the individual rather than a literal representation of physical object that occupy space. As the storm passes (I cannot help but think of Beethoven’s “Pastoral” Symphony, here), sound disappears and we are brought back to the original vantage point of an observer, but one not necessarily looking out over the endless sea. Rather, the point-of-view focuses attention on the expectancy of the next storm. The calm cannot exist without its antagonist".
