Artist Portrait - Stephen Appleby Barr

This film portrait of my artist friend Stephen Appleby Barr was made for his show Mesocosmos. I returned to a technique I first explored years ago on a Mount Kimbie music video—something that felt like the perfect way to reflect the layered nature of Stephen’s process, and the way life, community, and art are inseparably woven through it.

There was a quiet joy in working within a community I know so well—being immersed in Stephen’s world and, in some small way, drawn into the orbit of the Mesocosmos. The rhythm of it all seemed to find its own shape—because we allowed it to.
