This video is a test for an early iteration of an eye mechanism for a sculpture of mine. The character Depicted is the Woman in early metamorphosis.
The woman has been waiting on Lizardman
She sleeps alone in their bed
Expecting him
It is difficult to confirm when he has emerged as he does not fabricate in the same way
She spends her mornings searching the woods
Brushing her fingers over the rocks, squeezing juices out of the moss, crushing decomposed logs under her feet
Hoping to find a portal
Is that him?
Is he her(e)?
These are the instructions I was given
I have been touched by him. I feel him near. On my skin, woven into my being
Reaching out, seeking connection
Won't he distract me from my own flesh? Won't they free me from this reality?
Casting and reeling
Casting and reeling
She saw him do this before
Casting and reeling
Proving that she can
There is something to be found, that’s what he told her
So she returns to the water each day
I wish I could bring him to be
Use my body as vessel
Use me as a portal, connecting our worlds
What use am I?
What function is served if he does not emerge
The woman sets the table
Rearranging their favourite collection
Erecting the right decor
Unsure if he will ever emerge
To remove my flesh and repair his own
I have been waiting on Lizardman
Unsure if I will ever return
