Oct 20, 2007 STUDY FOR A NARRATIVE, 2011, GALLERY PIECE (SKY BLUE) flash movie "When I was younger, I was very interested in film. At my school the New Media Lab had its own library. Rolling cabinets held thousands of video tapes. I imagined how one could make a film using only clips from these tapes. But when searching for one's perfect sky-blue, how could one ever find it?" 1961. Oct 21, 2007 STUDY FOR A NARRATIVE, 2011, GALLERY PIECE (CHALICE) flash movie "Did you know that I too, have been an artist? In the year before I applied for the National Police Academy, and as I had always been interested in the Arts, I set up studios in a disused signwriters shop, with help from my parents. Mind you, I had received no formal training as an artist. For the first weeks, I was at a loss what to do. I had bought no equipment or materials, so I had only what was left in the old signwriters storage. There was a pile of old lumber in the back, and from that I fashioned a crude stretcher with a crossbar for strength. An old army blanket I found in a locker served as a canvas, which I nailed onto the the stretcher. So then I had a perfectly good canvas, albeit somewhat heavy, quite large, about my height. A receptacle, I thought. Retracing the production process in my mind, the construction of the stretchers' crossbar reminding me of the Cross of the Lord Jezus, the army blanket reminding me of His Warmth, and the concept of the receptacle reminding me of the Holy Communion. So, finding a tin of gold paint, I traced a chalice." 1962. Oct 22, 2007 STUDY FOR A NARRATIVE, 2011, GALLERY PIECE (INTERLUDE) flash movie 1963. Oct 23, 2007 STUDY FOR A NARRATIVE, 2011, GALLERY PIECE (ZERKALO) flash movie "Some time ago, I visited a friend in the city. We went to a movie house together, to watch a European film. It was Andrei Tarkovski's Zer-kalo, a film I know quite well as I did an essay on it when I was still studying. But I was surprised to discover that I had never heard the original Russian. I'd watched the film many dozens of times, and as I was studying, my love for the script, for the images, and for the music, grew, and grew. But I was loving the German translation, never knowing my loss." 1964.
