Magdelen and Moving over...

Images of work Projected on a wall in ASL.

So this is an installation shot of my work, the tree like image and another graduate Mikko Lautamo. (The colorful side/and more in focus.)
I purchased a small projector LG 201 it's light compact and has LED lights instead of light bulbs. After Mikko's praise of it I knew I needed to get me one and it has been wonderful for my work.

This image/still is from Magdelene2011, which is a video piece that I have been working on over the last year and a half. The concept behind it was the idea of meeting someone and have your life be changed by it. Before and After. For me this is expressed best in the meeting of Mary Magdelene and Jesus. All we really know about Magdalene is that she is one of two people who were present for all three major events in the New Testament. Jesus' ministry, his death and his resurrection. All the Bible says is that she was possessed by 7 demons and that after meeting Jesus she provided for him and His disciples with her resources.
Its was interesting to have her be this mysterious figure and yet she must have played a big role in the early church.



Well the work that has gone on this semester has been mostly behind the scene with very little to post about.  But I'll be posting more about my recent work and transferring over images and what not from the other blog as the week moves on.  It's school based and deleted at the end of the semester which is one reason for the long gaps between posts. I tend to post on one or the other, but this one is officially dubbed the main one and will be where I focus my writing and social networking skills.
