PAINTINGS THAT OCCASIONALLY MOVE

Across this work, a small number of images are primary and hold for a stretch (two to five primaries, holding anywhere from eight to thirty seconds) so that the painting occasionally moves. The characters are not machine animated. Each image in the sequence is individually composed, as a self-contained work.

PAINTINGS WITH SOUNDTRACK

In these works the sound is composed material rather than accompaniment. I built each soundtrack from found recordings (water in a cave, wind, an eagle, a toy drum) sourced under Creative Commons Zero licenses and arranged by me. No part of this audio is generated.

These run continuously rather than on held primaries. The Water Dragon is 418 individually composed images across two minutes.

2023

The piece was inspired by Benzaiten who is known as the goddess of flow, the arts, water and abundance. In mythology, she was the daughter of a dragon.

Color of Light by Trenlin Hubbert

2021

A portrait of optimism. The hands behind the back position is a mudra that can be read as acceptance of both dark and light aspects. The hands up is a mudra for courage.

the Call by Trenlin Hubbert

2021

The Call serves as a ritual. The crystals and the sage are symbols of protection. In the beginning, the character is posed with a hand mudra for courage.

the Warrior by Trenlin Hubbert

2021

Meditation on the soul of a warrior moving through multiple incarnations. The sound is a toy drum, a baby’s rattle, a dripping stalactite inside a cave, and chanting in a catholic church.

FIGURE AND FIELD

The codependency between figure and field is my intent. These works test it to the point where the figure nearly loses.

Elemental Urge, Epsilon A and the Circle dissolve the figure by overlay, as they submerge into the field and return. The Line works approach the same threshold by proximity: one composition at three magnifications, the third version the closest to dissolving.
