Analog iridescence. Here, I use the Tape and Transport Mechanism of a film or video processing device to not only capture but briefly suggest the expressive, aesthetic base of the medium. PAUSE, FFWD, RWD, for me, become indicia of audio-visual expressivity.

Tools: 8mm, 16mm, videotape, analog and modular instruments, archives. Handycam Sentimentality℠.
