What I really love about my projects involving shadow and light is the "romance" of it all. I am not sure if others feel the same way as I do about shadows and light, but it really resonates—on a very deep, theatrical level. Light and shadow can put us into very different frames of mind and emotion.
I like to think of this fascination with shadows as something as old as the caveman part of us; the torch light flickering over the animals they had painted on the cave walls made them seem alive. Shadows and light giving life to 2 dimensional figures. That is what I hope to do today.
By the way, you might enjoy this stop motion animation I made of the making of the Caves of Lascaux
