Light Play

      "He watches the light grow yellower and yellower.

Shadows deeper and darker

Gold honey rich orange amber

Amber wash ashore

Then a sieve to pass it through.

Then the scarf of evening.”

      The fleeting beauty of light play is certainly a marvel. When I sit down for breakfast, I like to watch the sunlight come through the curtains and dapple the refrigerator. The variety of light captured in the video gives new meaning to an otherwise static object, while the repetition of the image of the refrigerator in unique orientations and speeds shakes up the serenity of my peaceful morning ritual. The playfulness of the audio track also emphasizes the fun to be found in the smallest details of experience.
