“There is no right or wrong way to experience the work and one is likely to find one’s attention diverted from one area of the projected images to another quite unconsciously.” – Daniel Adams full review

A continuing series using patterned washi tape on 16mm clear film to explore lines, shapes, shadows, depth and light through rhythmic changes in the patterns that create the images and sound of the films. Inspiration for this work originated from when I first saw Mary Martin’s Drawings for Expanded Permutation (1969), last displayed at Annely Juda Fine Art in 2013.
