Stan Brakhage - meaning in perceived chaos

I have been looking into the works of  Stan Brakhage in particular, two of his short films,  Mothlight (1963) and  The Dante Quartet (1987). both of these experimental pieces explore the idea of using the natural formulation of patterns that can be found in chaos to draw a deeper more personal meaning form a situation that on the surface seems impossible to rationalize.

the idea of finding meaning and direction within chaos is something that has come up a lot in my life and in particular the last few months with having to find ways to cope with the end of a long term relationship and life plans being thrown into the air, I am hoping to use this project as a way to help prosses and communicate the internal ‘Chaos’ that I have yet been able to put to words and create an opportunity for others to do the same.
