“Moving Picture” (March 2002) was the second installation in the Santa Barbara Contemporary Arts Forum’s GLASSBOX space. A motor jiggled hundreds of squares that were hung in front of a deep blue canvas and painted with a vortex pattern. Throughout the day, seemingly with a life of it's own the squares moved in a variety of rhythms, from peacefully serene to frantically frenetic. The piece alluded to a number of elements from nature and the history of art. The Impressionists interest in depicting the elusive nature of water (with it’s simultaneous presentation of surface, depth, and reflection, it can also be seen as a metaphor for painting in general) is present here in color and in the floating squares/ paint daubs. Historically the daubs of the Impressionists eventually gave way to modernist grid, which in the current situation is obviously alluded to, but relieved from some of it’s severity by the literal movement, which can be seen as alternately (or simultaneously) serene, goofy, sexual, playful or frantic.
