Group VIII: Hidden Tracings/Exposed Fragrances(1980)
“Since all matter in the Universe pulsates rhythmically, it is therefore , in constant motion. My film/videos become an activated metaphor to elucidate this phenomenon . I attempt to create psychically charged images that are in a constant state of flux- structured formally but with a poetic intent. Through the use of slow movements and small changes the images become felt, eliciting an almost tactile response."-Director Statement
