Etymology

Etymology is, more than anything, an autobiography. It starts with a series of child-like scrawls in the forest. Darkness enters, and while the earliest sections are entirely composed of hand-drawn images, the video slowly shifts towards Xerox-transferred photo-collages of urban decay, and the squiggles turn into the more violent tearing of the images.

5 Cents a Peek
dir. Vanessa Woods

Experimental, 7mins, 2007
World Premiere
Five Cents a Peek is a filmic interpretation of a poem by Sharon Olds wherein the circus becomes a metaphor for a woman’s performance in, and for, the world. The film incorporates animation, archival circus footage, and distortions of the female form to explore ideas of performance, spectatorship, and the male gaze.

A small boat drifts mysteriously down a stream as if it had slipped out of a picture book. A young man appears and rescues a 'sleeping' woman from the small boat, and they grow close. Despite their beautiful days together, a heartless trial is creeping dreadfully toward the town and their destiny.
