Maya Deren: Prelude to Generating a Dream Palette Still Images Gallery Intro


Creating images for Maya Deren: Prelude to Generating a Dream Palette inspired me to launch the Still Images Galleries section of Illumination Gallery. More so than any of my previous animations, this one is rooted in a dramatic structure. Although that structure is abstract, it is very much present: images leading to other images for dramatic effect. Some images serve as dramatic focal points, others set up those focal points. The focal point images, on a whole, are richer, more textured than the transitional images leading up to them, but the transitional images can also resonate. The 35 images I have chosen here represent to my mind the 35 most powerful and resonant images in the animation.
