Huntress by Janet Lees
Huntress is by Isle of Man poet and artist Janet Lees, who also shot and animated the images.
The piece encourages us towards a wider-awake vision, towards more sensitive ears, with attention facing both inwards and outwards, and on the perceptual spaces in between. True to the soul of our times, it is deeply moving and beautifully well-realised.
George Simpson is the creator of the soundtrack, providing a track called “Artemis”, from his album Still Points In The Turning World. Emotionally affecting, with an elegant and simple extended first movement, followed by expansion into expressive drama, the music coherently accompanies the visual and textual elements in an organic way.
All the elements of this video merge to become an audio-visual experience far more than any sum of its parts.
