White Deer: Rites of Passage Trailer I

 

 

"Like Alice in Wonderland, a girl must face the fears standing between her, and who she’s becoming."

This early experimental trailer showcases some highlights of White Deer: Rites of Passage. A graphic novel, an animated film, a symphonic musical soundtrack, an art exhibition, a communal dialogue, and now a potential immersive dome show! 

All these creative parts synergistically compliment each other. Using immersive dome technology, the story becomes a ritual for the subconscious, inviting us to ask: Who am I, and who am I becoming? It gently reminds us that the challenges of growing up—especially for girls transitioning from childhood to adolescence, can become allies that strengthen our inner resolve.

Join the dialogue and support this epic art project.  Every month I present a Zoom session where I share the evolution of the story, art, animation and music, along with interviews of interesting people. Sign up for my newsletter to learn more.

 

Drawing Adelaide

 

"I use the figure in most of my art because it can communicate an infinite variety of ideas and emotions. I especially love the nude figure, as it is universal and timeless."

This drawing with charcoal on newsprint started with a live fifteen minute pose of the model. The goal of the short pose is to capture the energy of the figure. Then using memory and imagination I brought refinement to the final drawing. 

Adelaide Marcus, the incredibly talented dancer, artist, was the model.
