  • January
    January seeks to capture the essence of winter via an experimental/intuitive perspective.
    Much of this piece was shot without my looking threw the viewfinder utilizing a frame by frame exposure to build a landscape with snow banks, icy sidewalks and various tire tracks and trees along a Winnipeg walking trail. A process oriented work, january, carried with it the intention of generating audio with the digitized film, a dynamic drone that sits beneath the audio track from start to finish. The use of negative space illustrates the importance of what is there as much as what is not there, the dimension of dream, or the space between the space.
  • Drawing Genesis

    Drawing Genesis is a saturated visual compendium, which traces C. Graham Asmundson's performative gestures and visual residue. With the use of time lapse, still frames, lens obstruction, occult symbolism, subliminal imagery and blatant queer references the film presents a ritual of artistic inspiration that invokes man's primal forces.

    The soundtrack was created by converting a photograph of one of the paintings to a MIDI music file. This was subsequently entered into various synthesizers and sound programs and ultimately performed live by electronic artist, Cake Builder, adding a lush sound sigil to the frenetic magical imagery.

    This film was created during the One Take Super 8 Event at the first annual WNDX Festival of Avant Garde & Underground Film.
