Joshua White

This animated video is a collaboration between filmmaker Tom Hansell and photographer Joshua White. First, photographic paper is drenched in water from the New River near the artists' homes in Ashe County, North Carolina. Next, organic and manmade materials gathered from the river are placed on the photographic paper and exposed in direct sunlight, all within sight of the river. Finally, these images are digitally animated and natural sounds from the river are added to complete the film, which looks at our relationship with the water cycle.
