Film Projector Orientation for n. 4 modified projectors with variable transformers, n.4 film loops printed from an ink sprayed original and n. 2 gels.

The first shape for this film work came from picturing the superimposition of dissolves looped and spliced at a point of transition. To make sense of the phenomena of this work I like to use the analogy of driving. The road, as it were, is creating itself momently in one's attention to it, there visibly in front of the car. Vanishing at a point on the horizon there is no reason it should go on forever, and if one assumes that it does, it very often disappears into actuality. We must understand what is happening and one sense suggested is following. In that way there is nothing mindless about the procedure. It is rather, a respect for the possibilities of such attention that brings someone to say, "mind is shapely" Mind, thus engaged, permits experience of "order", far more various and intensive than habituated and programmed limits can recognize.
