Elevated Shores

Having lived here for so long enjoying the Sydney coastline I wanted to pay homage to it Id always been intrigued by the intricate natural and artificial shapes of the citys Eastern harbour eg the Woolloomooloo Finger Wharf and Pyrmont and its ocean headlands and beaches I cut out shapes from the Gregorys Street Directory as mattes and different filters to heighten and highlight Sydneys extraordinary beauty I used a hacksaw blade on the edge of a cymbal as a soundtracka kind of metallic sound to connect with the watery surfacesI literally composed the film as it was running in the projector Paul Winkler
