Scanning the Greenland Sea, 2021, Single Channel Video, Sound, Loop

Scanning The Greenland Sea explores the colors of the intricate and repetitive motion of the sea as seen and recorded from a cliff on Grímsey Island. In this work, blue horizontal bars are set in motion like waves moving toward a viewer or perhaps the viewer traveling over the sea. The color bars are sampled from a single column of pixels in a video still of the sea and sky. Shapes representing waves or underwater shadows and the sounds of Arctic birds are intermittent to disrupt what could otherwise be a meditative experience.
