"Journey" is an experimental animation combining metalsmithing, stop motion animation, video, and sound. Several programs including Dragonframe, Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, and Audacity were used to create the work. The piece is a reflection on how we relate to the natural world through a veil of technology and progress. Our protagonist, the chain, stretches out, feeling for place and space, discovering its surroundings, and reflecting on its origin. Born from the earth, further back from the stars, excavated by the hands of humanity and molded to their purpose. Entroy works at its edges and moves through its center as it transports the past into the future as the present breaks down and reassembles itself over and over again along the trace it leaves behind. Part of a molecular whole that is at once monumental and microscopic, fluid in even its solid state, conducting energy, structuring crystals, malleable, static. It is connected as we all are to the natural world around us.
