BLONDE FUR:

A digital loop available in quadraphonic (surround) sound, 2004-06, color, sound, 16mm original, DV edit, 2.5 min

"A rambunctious embrace, body to body, woman to woman, entrance to exit—inlaws—foregrounding the construction of cinematic meaning, the elusive nature of memory and desire, the hysteric familial arena of the social. A comedy of manners and movement, BLONDE FUR takes painting to its logical conclusion: the moving frame.” (AC)
