For my thesis project I will illustrate and animate the narrative the Billy Collins poem "I Go Back to the House for a Book":
"I Go Back To The House For A Book"
I turn around on the gravel and go back to the house for a book,
something to read at the doctor's office, and while I am inside,
running the finger of inquisition along a shelf, another me that did not
bother to go back to the house for a book heads out on his own,
rolls down the driveway, and swings left toward town,
a ghost in his ghost car, another knot in the string of time,
a good three minutes ahead of me - a spacing that will
now continue for the rest of my life.
I've chosen this poem because it is evocative of many elements of time in motion: fractions of time, metaphysical space, evreyday behavior and imagination

Narrative
/////////////////////////////////////////////////
The project will use live action video and animation (hand-drawn or computer generated) to explore notions of motion.
Motion = Change over time. The visuals will illustrate a narrative relating to identity, dreams, poetry and rhythym.
Explore dual themes of technology and image-making in relation to movement and their interaction in the modern world.
Motion, fine art, animation, film, video, narrative, storytelling, experimental, motion graphics, words, poetry, identity, rhythm, space, time, photography, dreams.
