Like gazing into a river or stream our focus is constantly forced to shift, what is under and what is over? By giving our mind up to multiple motion imagery we are forced to use a different set of principals and mode of thinking. It is here, at this point of contact that our subconscious searches for something meaningful and satisfying with which to feed our hungry imagination, like a cat on the edge of a pond full of fish. And it is here where lies the whole of man's inventory of symbol and myth.

David Bickley is a filmmaker, musician and new media artist and has exhibited extensively in Ireland and Europe. He has been awarded a Sony Video award, an O2 Digital Media Award and a Hotpress award.

My audio visual works/installations are abstracted, largely process led adventures mainly on themes of nature/landscape but also with points of reference to mythology and symbolism. They rely heavily on texture and mood and tend to sacrifice the topographical in an attempt to capture the spirit of the places depicted using memory or feeling. Other works are digitally manipulated landscapes designed to evoke a sense of animation and accelerated time-scale.

David Bickley is based in West Cork, Ireland.
