Single-channel, visual and conceptual video art that explores human consciousness and philosophical ideas, through digital media. Video Art, Two Movements, is an experimental video work, completed in September 2004 in collaboration with, author/ psychotherapist, Gerard Staunton. It explores the contrast between possessing contemplative freedom involving a sense of having an intimate stake in the world, and on the other hand, the subjection from custom, habit and compromise, - most of all perhaps from the waning of passion, - to a conditioned response to life which risks rendering one no more than a consumer to ones own memories and heart. It explores a highlighted anguish of contrast between the contemplative expectation of freedom inclusive of a sense of having an intimate stake in the world, and on the other hand, the fragility or perhaps the desperate fickleness of one's rapport with objects of reverence or passion, a potential funereal procession of evasions and compromises that risk rendering one ultimately a mere consumer of one's memories and desires
