Paintings, Drawings, Photographs,
and Digital Still Images
Closer Still

Closer Still is a series of digital prints derived from
frames of recent video works.  While working with
video, Imants focuses on the images in-between
and amongst the frames as they flicker by at thirty
frames per second.  Through extensive
manipulations, these still video frames become
images that rise far beyond the typical still frame.
Though frozen in time they continue to express
fluidity and movement.  Vibrant colors, organic
shapes, and bits of text are used to explore ideas of
biology, perception, interaction and symbiosis.  
While digging into the depths of the elusive video
frame, magnifying and molding artifacts into art,
Imants explores the space between traditional
techniques and cutting edge practices.
