Video by Peter Coonradt Music by James Campbell Running time: 18 minutes
I hope you enjoy this short documentary conceived and created by award-winning filmmaker Peter Coonradt. It shows how different sites have led me on unexpected sculptural journeys. Video is a great medium for experiencing these projects three-dimensionally, and it shows the play of light that animates them.
“I’ve known Ed Carpenter since grade school. Although it never occurred to me he would become an artist, I always knew whatever he did, he’d be good at it. Forty years later, when I saw his work, it intrigued me, astonished me, but I didn’t get it. That’s why I approached him about making this video; I wanted to understand what was going on.” —Peter Coonradt
