Agatha's Secret

Agatha's Secret from Gaynor Perry on Vimeo.





I produced this animation using the black and white gouache paintings from my Encephalic Cleansing series.  The individual frames were created using layers in Photoshop, which were then imported into iMovie.

The beginning of the song and first few lines were heard in a dream. I recalled the atmosphere clearly when I awoke and translated what I perceived musically as a starting point for this piece. I also dreamed about a magical silver dress.

The Unbelievable Truth




This song is the result of encounters I had in the dream state, which is a very real place for me. As ever, I aspire to manifest the subconscious realm by conjuring the essence of my inner life through the medium of music.










The Unbelievable Truth


I found them painting clouds, they said it was easy
Then I was laying down, I was having the time of my life
Listening to the owls

I watched you get undressed, your body is a space gate
How many times did I take my face off?
It may not meld back on

There's an owl on the roof beckoning to me
Goddess of the trees
Reach out for what you love, it's reaching back for you
It's the unbelievable truth

We try to resist, civil unrest at our fingertips
You know, people live life times the way you sleep
Come to in my arms, come to

There's an owl on the roof beckoning to me
Goddess of the trees
Reach out for what you love, it's reaching back for you
It's the unbelievable truth

To discern the precinct of truth, it is essential to nurture a fluent dialogue with the subconscious. By developing a keen awareness of intuitive feelings, a curiosity and belief in the imagery and sensory episodes delivered in the dream state, one can discover an authentic affinity with the world.

Butoh

I had the pleasure of documenting Marie-Gabrielle Rotie's Butoh class recently. Photographing the sculptural forms created by the dancers, I was struck by the poignancy of their calm surrender to gravity.

"Butoh is an act of transformation, a process by which the performer 
searches for a state of becoming."
