THOREAU

Thoreau emerges at dawn with the sounds of birds bringing us out of the darkness. We travel through the landscape of the triptych, and gradually pull back until the entire painting finally emerges across the width of the stage. The central icon, the copper engraving plate, grows and lifts out of the painting, as the golden harp of the piano rises out of the instrument. The two fuse and expand until I have been immersed by the garden depicted in the copper plate. I step out of myself and walk through the garden. The camera pulls in, closer and closer, until we are left with the image of my eye.
