wildfire suns/cadence

Mixed media (projection, paper, soot) - varying iterations using soot I collected and froze from washing air filters in Maryland during the 2023 Canadian wildfires.. I've been working with the velvety soot which remains after melting onto paper, sometimes using digital manipulation of the dried residue with hyper-saturation and shifting hues to reveal the flow and ebb of material encoded within the static image. Also layering over time lapse and images of local landscapes to juxtapose sometimes diametric perceptions of time and home: eternal yet fragile, nostalgic while ominous, touched gently by cataclysms far away.
