SEQUENCING
As I work on building these motion sequences fairly intuitively, I am beginning to notice different visual systems and mechanisms operating within each. Rather than try to make sense of different visual rules of logic within one meta-sequence, I have begun to separate these elements into unique sequences. In this way two distinct sequences have begun to form, both working with the same elements (light and letterform) but working with interactions between the two.

This is a fascinating and somewhat counter-intuitive process for me. While an image of the overall structure is buried deep in my thinking, I am avoiding this as my starting point now. I am approaching the building of these 10-second sequences as pieces that will constitute various one-minute sequences, that will in turn be re-combined to form a more final sequence. Building from parts to create the whole for me is a little de-stabilising but also exhilarating. It allows me to find points of interest and play them out in their own sequence, even if their connection to the final piece is as yet, unknown. While all these mini-sequences are built from the same core elements, the letterform, archival images, and light – the hierarchy of these elements to each other shifts from piece to piece. What is really interesting is finding new ways for elements to work in each piece. While I had an original idea for how light might work, when it interacts with colour or a new image, it begins to behave differently and communicate in an unexpected way. I am learning about how visual narrative can be generated and structured from the inside out through this process.
