Range of View

Range of View is an art video poem of abstract digital works by Dwayne Jahn, in which he explores textures and flat structures reminiscent of a mixture of paint on canvas and rocks, grouped and divided by these lines of text - a video poem formed:

abstract texture | zeal
a summary | multifaceted
planetary surface | colors
dried paint | celebration
rough walls | cave
illumination station | well

Accompanied by a gorgeous symphony of wind chimes in nature by Philip Goddard.
