Benediction 
(EXPERIMENTAL – 14 minutes, 9 seconds)
Kevin Balling

Shot entirely in a garden over a six-month period, this innovative video captures the essence of the garden, from the first planting to the first snowfall.  Intended as a reflection on life, death, change and impermanence, Benediction is an offering to the rhythms of the natural cycles, to our place within them, and to a particular mountain garden where these rhythms emerged.
