Road with Tree combines video and painting to explore the notions of movement and action within image making.

Minimal movement present in the video footage is contrasted with the painted image to create a reflective, meditative space on the painted surface. The audio, recorded at the same time as the video, adds a sonic texture to the mix and hints at ideas of a narrative element.
