The Loom (1986)

A multiplesuperimposition handpainted visual symphony of animal life of earth THE LOOM might be compared to musical quartetform as there are almost always four superimposed pictures but the complexity of texture multiplicity of tone and the variety of interrelated rhythm suggest symphonic dimensions The film is very inspired by George Melies the animals exist in Janes enclosure as on a stage their interrelationships edited to the disciplines of dance so therefore one might say this hardly represents animal life on earth but I would argue that this work at least epitomizes theatrical Nature magical Creature and is the outside limit to date of my art in that respect The balanceoflight was so perfectly realized in making the neg of this print that I wish to credit Western Cine Labs timer Louise Fujiki as creative collaborator in the accomplishment of this work
