Idyllwild

Animation

2012

 

Idyllwild is the third piece in a planned series of five animations based on Course of Empire, by Hudson River painter Thomas Cole. It takes as a point of departure, Cole’s first painting in the series, The Savage State, but focuses exclusively on the turbulent sky. The 2-channel animation consists of a pair of projections, one on the wall and the second on the floor. The projections are generative, ever changing and reorganizing themselves and their relationship to each other.
