Karen McCoy

McCoy has captured many instances of the dancing light and shadow that still fascinate us. The video footage has not been sped up or altered in anyway except for taking excerpts out of longer footage. Carl’s music is an edited version of his string quartet No.2, "A Path Between Cloud and Light." The result is a blend of the representational with the abstract, an animation of abstract iconography. As we has worked with this imagery and accompanying sound we have learned about light and sound neurotherapy which is said to have a profoundly calming effect on our minds and has been studied for over a century. We think of experiencing these pieces as being similar to watching a flickering fire while listening to jazz.
