Something that is considered to be rich, varied, or intricately interwoven.
A video of slowly emerging layers, revealing images of personal memories, identities and contemplations. Both philosophical and painterly the video takes the observer/viewer on an incidental journey through image and colour of a personal moving photo album.
The video takes the form of an animated palimpsest with texts interwoven illustrating the concepts that are dealt with in the video. Primarily a non-narrative story, the video is constructed in such a way that the viewer can "dip" in and out at anytime.
Words by the well-known North East Poet, Keith Armstrong.
