If the moon moves water, the sun moves shadows is a configuration of new work exploring the concept of passive vitalism through the differing material demands of painting and moving image.The exhibition involves a single shot video and a series of paintings; both works are installed together as a single work. The video utilises both single shot and duration, and the series of paintings work with the interrupting frame and play of natural light in real time.This work was developed while a Master of Fine Art candidate at Monash University, with the support of the Australian Government Research Training Program Scholarship.
