In Between Storms

Once, when I was a child, I was standing in a town centre during their Spring Festival, staring up at the blue sky with cherry blossom petals raining down on me. A huge spring thunder storm came through in a flash, pelting hail and rain on those trees, passing as quickly as it came. It left the air fresh and new, the ground was a sea of pink and white. I wanted to re-create this childhood experience as a metaphor for those times in life when you feel like you are jumping in between the storms, that there is beauty in the storm. I created dataset of photographs documenting the process of wet-felting using the colours that I felt that day, plus photography of cloudy blue skies, was trained to make this animated GAN artwork.
