For some reason I am still obsessed with the movie The Revenant. I found a documentary on it and have watched it as I make in the studio- I’ve totalled about 6 times now. I love so many elements, the story of making, the relationship with the land - it’s importance, the narrative of people and the forest. The Music. It picks on elements from my dreams, and deeper parts fo my subconscious.
There is some deep mystery in the forest and it moves in a different way around the frozen waterfall. The water somewhere between pouring out and becoming, the space around creation. Differance.
I want my work to connect, touches upon these elements.

Foot note: The director and another individual talk about racism - their beliefs about what it is and it’s consiquences. I disagree. They makes the statements from a white perspective, which will always be problematic. He and understates it’seffects and consequences. He over simplify what is a complex and dangerous issue.
