Plotting the Grey Scale: 2 or 3 Quick Traverses

“A monochromatic field study of sorts, along perpendicular axes. Varying shades of grey flicker in increasing intensity, giving way to a kinetic study of activated organic forms deriving from rapidly changing optically printed freeze frames of trees. A variation on the grey flicker recurs, climaxing in a modestly manipulated study of leaves moving in the wind. Overall, this unusual and visually affecting film brings together some of Worden’s most elemental interests, including stasis, motion, rhythm, visual consonance and dissonance, and the tension between the pictorial and the abstract, all with a characteristic phenomenological undercurrent.” —Mark Toscano
