Process: That Leads To and From a Still Place



This is Alicia's fifth in the series exploring the Seven Redemptive Names of God: Jehovah Ra-ah (the Lord my shepherd).  Her process is the same; just her and the camera (and a bit of string).  Her idea is to focus on the content and shot making with little or no editing. It's interesting to watch her attempt to create within the restraints of the camera.  According to her, these video experiments are her interpretation of God's character, but perhaps, in the end, reveal more about her approach to God than God himself.  The videos are beginning to represent a sort of loose self-portrait.

This work is the strongest in the series IMO.  It is beautifully meditative and somehow accurately captures the local landscape and our spiritual / emotional response to our environment in Germany the past year.
