CLEANSING, 2020
The protagonist, Earth Mother, becomes a vessel. When she is broken open through the act of cleansing, she allows us to witness the damage of the human mark, resulting in plastic, oil, and garbage emerging from her mouth.
MY BED, 2020

CRANE WIFE, 2020
Inspired by the old Japanese Folktale, Crane Wife takes the form of Earth Mother, continually giving of herself as the human mark continues to take, hearts full of greed.
ACHROMATIC, STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS, 2019
A personal landscape montage based on a stream of consciousness writing comparing lead white to our society’s centuries-old power structure of men and the effects this has on women.
Achromatic, Stream of Consciousness is a 16mm collage film mixed with digital footage shot in Scotland, Spain, and NY/NJ, USA. The films are handmade originals constructed out of clear film acetate and double-sided tape that alternate between sewing stitches and collage on single frames; and double frames of direct animation involving drawings and etchings, dead flowers, dead skin, onion skin, insect wings, human hair, feathers, and cut brillo pad. Projected continuously, these flickering patterns appear overlaid and create an ephemeral textural experience.
Voice actors Gianluca Bianchino and Robert Getz
