Newman’s art is created by animating original video and found film clips. Her work encourages the viewer to see nature as staged. This exhibition will feature a two-channel video installation running 3 minutes 40 seconds.

Ebbing and flowing ocean waves are the subject of Newman’s video. The motion of the waves is enhanced by a classical music composition that sonically mimicks waves rolling and crashing. At times, however, the music and the visuals seem out of synch. Newman destabilizes the viewer¹s perception of the oceans natural grace by cutting back and forth between a pool she has created and is manually manipulating, an animation of her own, and footage of the ocean crashing against the rocks. Alternating cuts show the ocean being pulled by a group of animated blue dots, then by Newman’s own hand, and then by natural forces. By juxtaposing these situations there is a physical shift in the viewers understanding of the visual phenomena.
