monday's cold rain

today is rainy and cold. the rain however, touches all the living things and gives them breath and brightness against the muted sky. i left the house for a walk around the neighborhood and the weather created a foreign backdrop to a familiar place. i have been playing with 16 film loops the past few days. a combination of markers, vermillion ink and a razor blade creates some interesting textures on top of negative film with faces of a woman and man talking...showing simple facial expressions at different speeds. it's like waking ghosts that have been dormant waiting for me to come.
