So sorry! I plugged my ear phones in and watched it again; there is sound! And the percussion at the end is much more effective than the ringing I imagined:)

Gave me goosebumps. This idea is brilliant. The new life portion was a little anti climactic to me. I think it could be improved by adding a sound to the end result--the new life--like a ringing that gets louder:) Great work!!!

Just want to explain this video a little bit. This was an installation I did for an experiential stations of the cross that was done at St. Elizabeth's in Norwood, Ohio for Lent 2006. You could enter this space, which blocked out all outside light (the only light in the tomb was the video projector). It was all white inside the tomb, except for the ceiling which was black. You could sit in chairs or on the floor. The video itself is a three part cycle. The first (red) represents violence, the second (black) represents death, and the final (yellow) represents new life. The body in this context was the body of Jesus but I hoped that each viewer would mentally place themselves in the position of the body. I received very positive feedback about the work. The space itself became a space where people felt safe and comfortable, which was my ultimate goal, that is, to take the most base fear of each human being - the fear of dying - and transform the experience. Why do we fear the inevitable? It is the one guarantee in life - you and I are going to die.

Hi there! Thanks, yea it is a photograph, it was almost impossible to get. It is a ceiling (that spelling doesn't look right, my roommate said it was) of a stairway in a church in Italy. You have great stuff as well, do you mostly paint?

Wow, Cortney! This is great, how long did it take you to paint it? I think more than a painting is the joy of the painter and the texture developing every moment, strok after stroke, loved it!

Yes. I used a video camera that does interval recording and I would basically paint something, step out of frame, hit record, and I repeated that until I was done.

Very cool. Did you do that by stop-motion?
