Standing Still explores time and space beyond the traditional screen frame. The experience is one of a series of motion studies that explore the application of motion graphics in real-time immersive environments. The work uses captured 3D photogrammetry scans and field recordings from the Victorian High Country. Visitors are invited to explore the work in their own way and reflect on the interconnectedness and fragility of the environment. Standing Still is part of a creative practice PhD project at Swinburne University of Technology by the artist.

A mesmerising and abstract dream sequence exploring the elemental forces of fluid and earth, this piece imagines Van Gogh preparing his paints in a surreal, meditative ritual. Colourful pigments swirl and merge with clear liquids, echoing the vibrant collisions of colour found in his iconic works. As the materials fuse and shift, hidden objects emerge and dissolve within the fluid landscape – symbolising the artist’s inner world and creative process. This hypnotic visual journey captures the alchemy behind Van Gogh’s art, blurring the line between imagination and materiality.
