Sometimes you and yours make my heart sing.

This is one of those times.

Nice of you to bring us (and the amazing Charlene) along for the ride.

Spent most of my childhood in a similar wooded place - a place of fairies & newts - that had once been an apple orchard. In the autumn, we feasted on the smallest, sweetest apples imaginable. All summer, we swung from the wood’s hundred vines until we were salty, then soaked in the bitter-cold springs’ muddy bowls.

Ah.

Thanks for that memory.

Where is the Big Bad Wolf?

Very nice audio work. Eerie… particularly the sounds of glass and the echo water splashes.

That kid is like…

I am throwing a rock!

I could care less if this is a path to anything!

Truly enchanting. I expect the “feel” of this piece will be with me for days. Magical. Thanks for this.

it’s like if Stan Brackhage did a rendition of Little Red Riding Hood. ABSOLUTELY BEWITCHING.

nice vlog, I love the way you follow the subject, it really gives an idea of “taking care” but letting the subject free to play
lovely

there was a muted voice and a faceless face that told a beautiful story…
wonderful moment

The inquisitiveness of a child, the magic of a hidden garden and the mystical music of Charlene intermix to become one of my Bottom union bests.

Oh yes… take me for a walk in the woods anytime. I love it!

Spirit Path…

Walking through the Museum of Anthropology at UBC, borrowing spirits conjured by Erik and Charlene……

It pleases me that you cited Charlene… and even more so that I can see the relationship. It’s a conversation in media, subtle, but I feel lucky I can read it.

I often wonder if the language we’re creating now in media will be built upon, will be developed into strong and widely recognized forms and become common in everyday culture. Are these aesthetics ever evolving and ephemeral, to be reinvented and explored every generation… or like books and the written word will the future build upon the past creating elaborate mythologies with deep historical meanings connecting 100’s of years of history to the present and even drawing it out into the future like the scifi genere… or are these just magical moments that pass like warm sands beneath our feet on a sun soaked beach. Cherished but fleeting and uncountable and uncollectable. How can we curate these moments… and take them from the everyday back into the sublime and preserve them and the meaning which which we now so see in them. How can we capture not just the media, but the perspective and light of the time in which they were created. Without this context, this fleeting time at the birth of a whole new medium I’m afraid the meaning will be lost on future generations.

follow the little red hoodie. my biological clock is cursing you.

Beautiful video.
I wish so often to have the perspective of a child. I think it’s something we all have to remind ourselves of from time to time.
