Artist Statement

This show is an ongoing exploration of movie film as a sculptural material.  I discovered this process of manipulating film while pursuing a Masters of Fine Arts degree in cinematography over 25 years ago. I was always fascinated with the notion of filmmaking as capturing time on long strands of celluloid.  Thousands and thousands of tiny images are brought to life with the aid of a movie projector by pushing light through each image one frame at a time. My forms are created by spiraling the film into tight coils, which upon closer inspection, reveal patterns of overlapping bands of still images; with the aid of a magnifying lens, recognizable and abstract images are discovered.
in this gallery setting I am able to project the light onto and through the pieces,
creating multiple shadows and movement, offering the viewer a glimpse of the fast disappearing medium: movie film.
