Tal Rosner

Sunday Morning is the second of Four Sea Interludes, a suite from Peter Grimes by Benjamin Britten. The visual interpretation of the piece takes off from a very simple composition - the edge of a building (looking upwards) and the seam it shares with the sky. Like a clock beginning to tick, the piece starts to develop rhythmically into a celebration of waves, boat masts and birds, increasingly interspersed with spikier and more aggressive shapes which progressively slow the pace down, forcing the various elements to conform.
