Installed while in residence at James Madison University for ‘Surface Tension.’
‘Passage at the Gate’ is a 3-channel celluloid film projection with images spliced intermittently to interact with one another in their overlapping frames, constantly shifting their context and relationship.
Heat and light deteriorate film strips precariously hung from rope-suspended steel rods. Images pass through--or over--reaching out to one another, apparitions or points of contact, memory slowly losing fidelity as it is replayed again and again. This work is an addition to an ongoing meditation on loss.
