Blackstream is one of a sequence of experimental works utilizing digital imaging that in conjunction with 2D works explore constructing concepts of reality that we can live with.  The work is concerned with the dialogue between light reflected off surfaces and the visual cortex.  It deals with flux, light as wave and particle: things in the moment of becoming.  An element of fantasy creeps in.
An earlier version of Blackstream appeared last year in the dLux emedia show in Sydney and was written up in RealTime.
