Hello! This week I've been working on putting films together - I'm not very technically apt, so it's taken a while, but I'm happy with what's happened so far. Jana pointed out to me last week that the little white man submerged in water (can be seen in photos from last week's entry) refers very strongly to either birth or death, or both....so I tried to decide if that was indeed what I wanted. I think it is - it's birth, actually, but an exploration of the thing being born, trying to find out where it comes from and what that place is like, how it feels, what the environment is. I went to the market in Cascine yesterday morning and bought these tiny, beautiful patches made of thin lace. I thought I'd make another grass blanket, maybe a bit larger and better crafted this time, and sew them on - I would document the blanket every day with both video and photographs to have a record of its greenness/lushness and its decay.
