Excerpts from BlindSight

BlindSight is a twenty-minute video that consists mostly of still images that quickly cross dissolve from one into another.

The term “blindsight” refers to the ability of blind people to sense the presence of objects even though they cannot see them. Sometimes, in order to understand what is sensed but ignored or not seen, a subject requires a new context: Its relationship to unexpected subject matter next to it, or superimposed on it, can illuminate its meaning. Thus, the interplay in this video of various subjects including of homelessness, Pre-Columbian tribal art, cell towers, war, corporate logos, stock charts and garbage.

Much of the imagery in this video feeds off the paintings, drawings, sculptural wall pieces, photographs and photo-collages that I have made; and in turn, my two and three-dimensional work, often feeds off the video.
