Rachael's Descent is a video piece about family as an uncontrolled chain reaction. It is directly related to my own family history and open to any interpretation. I don't care if you understand any of it. It is just beautiful. Hear the cicada...

A Man In Static is a video piece about a man who is psychologically unravelling. It is ambiguously a document of his testimony of a severe event or some portrayal of his disturbed mental space.

recharger is a composite video animation involving dramatic camera motion, 2D stills and video footage arranged in a 3D space. I utilized After Effects to create a "paper-cut-out" set of images and video events, then created a camera to navigate the space. It is a visual reflection of my interpretation of the myth of The Tower of Babel as described in Genesis.

Child Mask is a four part series of 2D design work utilizing imagery of children's masks that were found on Google. I did this series as sketches for large scale paintings that have not yet been made.

Pack Rat is a labyrinthine web site made of imagery captured from the trash heaps of the internet. The collected "junk" was reprocessed and combined in nonsensical contexts to create an aesthetically interesting arrangement of "found" objects. The imagery is redesigned and intermixed with original video "haikus" in the form of gif animations. The overall style is a chaotic degradation of obscure imagery.

I hope you enjoy the works and are able to find beauty, discomfort, and a sense of humor in what you witness.

Sincere thanks,

Eric Thompson.
