“Thin Ice” is an investigation into a number of dichotomies present within the prairie landscape. The prairies are highly three-dimensional in depth, yet at the same time two dimensional in horizontal flatness, empty and yet full of detail, static and yet always moving. The concerns within “Thin Ice” take on painterly attributes which are enhanced not only through compositional devices but through the use of a video camera, such that the technical aspects become a major tool for aesthetic consideration.
