PAINTING
Stop-Motion Painting
Video: TRT 01:45
2010

An on-going, collective painting created by an ever-growing number of hands. Participants paint on the 5' X 4' canvas while I stand behind them with a camera, tripod, and tireless thumb, continuously snapping pictures to capture the art that is their experience with the ancient technology of stop-motion.

The photos from the first installment were turned into a movie that was projected next to the painting at the second installment, so then those photos were in the background of the movie that was projected at the third installment, and then the photos from the first, second, and third installments were in the background of the fourth, creating picture in picture in picture in picture, so all of the glorious layers and many artists were present throughout the whole experience.

You can see the video of all four sessions here!.

Conducted in four separate installments at Make My Monday at Fort Mason Center.
