Tara McPherson

I was completely fascinated by the recent video of Tara McPherson at work on one of her paintings for her solo exhibit, 'Bunny In The Moon' at Jonathan LeVine Gallery.

The video in question is time lapsed and shows Tara working on Safety of Water shooting at 2 frames a second.

I captured roughly half of the painting process in this video, and I worked on this painting over the span of a few months. -Tara McPherson

I took some screen grabs of the video just to capture different moments of how she works out of idle interest as it whizzes by in the video (click for larger view).

I've also posted up a selection of her work over at Cellar Door.

Watch the full video here:
