Coloured Rock Splash Film, originally uploaded by e s c h e r.
As always click play then pause, let it download then watch.
This is a film of the Coloured Rock Splash sculpture I did last Autumn. Watching it back reminds of how the little sections of leaf were much more keen to stick to my fingers rather than the stone. And I remember how cold my digits were too!
Seemed like a good idea when I started but soon turned into a "wish I'd never begun" project as many of them turn out to be! (I am mostly unable to give up once I have started). But as always the numb fingers are soon forgotten and the frustrations with the materials soon fade away only to leave the moments captured on video and in photographs. I love the transience of ephemeral art. To me it is all about making order out of chaos only for the elements to strip back the imposed structure and return it all back to nature from where it came. An allegory for life.

Really enjoyed this Rich. Beautiful colours and an excellent film and film making.
My Regards, Pete.
Beautiful video. Your work is amazing and inspiring.
Just wondering - was there sound in the video? I couldn't anything if there was.
Thanks Preeti. Yes there is sound (there should be on all my videos). I can hear it when I try. Perhaps there is a problem with your computer? Something muted, volume turned down, speakers not plugged in, something like that? Perhaps try listening to something you always get sound with and then have another go?

Your color gradations make my heart sing. (Most color gradations have that effect on me.)
The lovely slick form of the rock is also attractive, so I'm encouraging you to use that next time. :-)
The rhythm in the surrounding mud was a nice touch, and the sound of the water brought peace to a weary soul, also.
TFS...
This was just fantabulous.......
just loved it....
