Ice on the Sun

This song was such a great messy, complex contradiction. It was this destructive and tortured lyric laid over this catchy great grove. I wanted to capture the song’s happy groovy accessible vibe mixed with its weird dark undercurrent. I don’t usually utilize literal interpretations but the visual of ice on the sun was just so unique that I felt it called out to beinterpreted this way. My first images were of melting ice cubes on a sun that would run and melt and get messy. I put magnets in ice cubes testing for the perfect strength and danced the cubes across paintings filled with bold watercolors. As the film progresses, the sun moves across the sky. I wanted things to get messier throughout the film but then clear up in the end. To come back to a state of order, not cheerful but not maniacal. My last frame pulls back to a visual of the universe, or outer space: structured, organized, calm.
