What Goes Up Must Come Down

2020. HD video. Silent. 5:37 minutes.

Swansea Bay, Wales.

Dawn, at the beginning of a new day, on edge of the sea, as the low tide shifted into rising again. Alone but not lonely, shooting hoops with the forces of the universe. Motivated and inspired, in part, by the constant media coverage of driving down the curve, the shifting tides of our times, and collaborating with a marine scientist throughout the year, What Goes Up Must Come Down was a space and time to just simply be, be with the earth, be the forces of nature, to be alone, to have a live dialogue with something beyond myself, something real, tangible and new. These live exercises with chance, probability, distance, letting go, scoring, missing, learning, adapting, coming closer to something, of dreams and visions, reality and the surreal capture how I feel go through this historical time we live through now.
