Sculpture Study is a film series I made for a private New England art collector to go with a set of rare cast iron sculptures dating to the Middle Ages. The collection travels the country to museums and institutions, and the films screen beside the pieces, showing visitors the details that are hard to see from behind glass.
I built the team, designed the shoot, and shot and edited every film myself. The hard part was the metal. Gold and iron this reflective throw light everywhere, and the moving parts and running water had to read as clearly on screen as they do in the room. That took a lighting plan and a crew I trusted.
The companion film, on the articulating lobster.
Single objects or whole collections, filmed to screen beside the work itself. I shoot and cut across New England and New York.
