Northward, 2019, Single Channel Video, Sound, Loop

Northward is a series of video clips captured during three visits to Iceland between 2014 and 2018. The clips are organized according to the latitude of each shot location starting with the most southern location and moving north. Blocks of color, lines, layers, and shapes move from top to bottom across the screen referencing the ever-changing environment of Icelandic geological features such as lava flows, waterfalls, and glaciers. Sounds of the wind and interjections of birds and altered sounds move with the landscape and forms.
