Moving Image
Artwork Title: George Street
I had been studying remotely, facing a square table and square screens for longer than I ever expected. So I travelled, almost greedily, back and forth to the street with familiar skyscrapers and unfamiliar faces when I got a chance. I wanted to explore, I wanted to talk, and I knew I would regret it if I could not record more.
Artwork Title: Mother
Why wouldn't a woman who has given birth be related to sex anymore? I have no answer to this, but the detachment in between keeps me asking. To my mother, a lively, cutie, and charming woman.
