We Become Abstract in "Embrace"



Take away our context, and we become abstract. Take away our words, and we speak with our body. Bring in music, dance and film, and we have art intersections.

Embrace (2012) is a 2D motion graphics work that combines live action video of a dance performance with graphic effects to demonstrate an artist’s journey towards creative ecstasy. By using a visually rich multi-planar space in tandem with three distinct color palettes, Pearsall reveals the difficult and time-consuming creative struggles that are a necessary component of the artistic process.
