about LIMERENCE

Stephen’s ongoing video installation project, Limerence, explores the cycle of infatuation, heartbreak, and resilience through visual “songs”. Featuring abstract videos projected onto sculptural screens, the project aims to create a sense of musicality through the visual languages of graphic design, animation, and motion graphics.

In order to fund this ambitious project and experiment with ideas which may make their way into the larger works, Stephen is regularly creating smaller stand-alone works called Limerent Objects. New works are offered for sale two or three times a year.
