‘Sunrise Erased the Blue Moon’ explores the ideas of time, reflecting on both its positive and negative aspects. Having looked at the family album as reference, the work builds on these relationships looking at what time has given us and what it will take from us. It also builds on the levels of love and compassion that have flourished over the years. The project works with processes that develop differently when the factor of time is altered, resulting in a visual language that aids the theme of the work. Using images that span over many years, the project builds on the idea of transience and the beauty that comes with this fragility. ‘Sunrise Erased the Blue Moon’ is a celebration of the past but a preparation for the future. A blueprint for time. A blueprint of an angel.

 

Blue moon, rise high.
For a moment pause your ways.
The light of generations,The power you display.
Blue moon, stay high.
That pause was far too sweet.
Don’t let it be a memory,
A bitter brought by a fleet.

 

For time is a fleet,
The pirates of your dreams.
Flesh it may take,
But the stone still aches.

 

Stone angel I weep,Stone angel to keep.

 

Blue angel please stay,Sunrise erased the blue moon.I still feel its imprint.I miss you, see you soon.
