Here I play with the idea of making the virtual media of video with a hands-on process. Titled Watercolor, I projected light and colors through the water to create videos composed of abstract color fields that ripple & undulate from one color and pattern to another. I control and manipulate all of the imagery by hand. Using differing pieces of colored glass, plastic bottles, and water. I love joining this tactile process with the hi-tech and virtual realm of video.

I collect materials around the house, Ziploc bags, cereal bag liners, plastic bottles, and glass jars. I fill these containers with various liquids that bubble, ooze and/or stagnate. Using my video camera and projector, I coax these everyday objects to become something more, heightening their dimension into the realm of fairytale. I began this process by projecting video through a plastic bottle filled with water. Moving the bottle around I enlarged and distorted the image sending fragments of the imagery and shimmers of water rippling around the room. I find myself continually drawn back to this action, repeating this experiment in various formats, using anything from baby food jars to cereal bags, and resulting in small objects and full-scale installations.
