A Letter To You Documentation

15654 This video presents documentation of my installation "A Letter to You," as well as the full footage of the installation - which is a loop. This is an autobiographical installation investigating my memory of my grandma before she died from cancer. It explores the intense pain and beauty of life and death, including the process of healing through immersive experience in water and sound. The piece was initially designed to fit the architecture of the original installation space, but as it is shown in other spaces, I am interested in seeing it develop in the context of other architectural elements. It can now create arches, opening doors of possibility, where there once stood walls.

9. Specter, 2010 How does an image form? Specter utilizes exquisite corpse techniques to explore the process of perception in the human mind. Inspired by John Cage, the animators first created a visual and aural score to represent the movements of the film. They then 'performed' the score visually through animation using a multi-plane setup, cut-outs, clay, and other under the camera animation techniques. The process was spontaneous, but directed by the score. Similarly, the animators performed sounds designed to sync with the aural graphic score.
