somersault




Yesterday, I borrowed an Australian film "somersault". This beautiful piece was written and directed by Cate Shortland.
After watching all the "special features" I found out that she was inspired by Bill Henson, Nan Goldin and Todd Hido's photography.
Todd Hido's work is amazing. I am in love with his Landscap series.



I was so inspired by the sounds(decoder ring) and visual imagery of this film...



that it led me to creating some work of my own...
