SUNLIGHT ON LEAVES 3
SYNOPSIS
This short silent time-lapse film is created by the movement of the sun over a single afternoon as it shines through the window of a house. As the sun changes its position, its light increasingly illuminates the plant leaves before disappearing behind the houses in the street outside.

Andrew Payne
Andrew Payne is a British artist who has been fascinated by aspects of the natural world for most of his adult life. He has a degree in Fine Art and studied printmaking as a postgraduate student at the Slade School of Art in London from 1978 to 1980.
After leaving the Slade he used photography for many years to produce colour pictures of his local landscape. In 2006 he started filming the changing movement and light in the landscape near to or in his home. His films are non-narrative in form, often retaining the abstract qualities of his earlier photographic work. He often uses time-lapse techniques to capture the slow and subtle movement of light. There has been a realisation since his diagnosis of autism that his imagery and methods are affected by this condition.
His films have been screened as artist's moving image works or experimental cinema, but have also been shown in art galleries along with work by video artists and artists working in other media. They have been shown throughout the UK, and in Europe, the USA, Canada, South America, India, Vietnam and Korea.
