[kaleidoglobe]


is a video work examining the mundane household work of generations of women through the metaphor of a kaleidoscope.

The footage began as documentation of three generations of women in my family making holiday food--popcorn balls. The mundane imagery of hand work is transformed through formalist techniques of mirroring and duplicating.

With formal manipulation and the of the image from a rectangular video screen to a spherical projection, the imagery is transformed into abstract images that ooze of bodies and the rhythm of manual labor.

The work is desiged to be exhibited on a spherical globe and is showing at the AIR gallery, New York, on 25th Street, as well as in Siggraph 2004.
