Tristans ascension (the sound of a mountain under a waterfall) 2005 
Bill Viola Water Martyr, 2014
Bill Violas work emits power and force, natural elements are at the core of much of his work as a way of reconnecting to the foundation of the world around us.

Having visited his exhibition at the RA in 2019, i found particular interest in the way he displayed his work, the projections often surround the viewer providing a 360 experience free from distractions. Some of his work was displayed with varying projections on multiple layer creating a 3 dimensional effect. Moving forward i want to explore how video work can evolve into sculpture and perhaps become more interactive.
Each room the work was displayed in was dark, i felt this brought some intimacy and allowed for a more intense connection with his work. This also meant you couldn’t see or interact with other viewers and removed the feeling of being in a white walled gallery. I aim to play with the idea of a one to one connection between audience and work as this continues the idea of interpersonal power.
