An obsession, a fleeting image, a longing:  the home as a romanticized, idealized place of
intimacy, insistently inhabiting the most personal sphere, the territory of dreams and
memories, of fantasy and desire.  Using a short segment from personal home-movies
(edited and reproduced multiple times) as a primary source of imagery, the process is a
formal and lyrical exploration whereby the film is being essentially treated as a material,
a surface, a membrane that can be manipulated directly in a "desperate" attempt at
reclaiming and demystifying, at finding and revealing, at mapping the ineffable, at
capturing and letting go...The original home-movie images once reproduced were
affected through a variety of hand manipulations and chemical processes (without the use
of optical effects) such as toning, deterioration of the emulsion and emulsion lifts,
solarization, tinting, ripping, perforation, collage and hand-made "mattes", painting,
printing, bleaching, scratching, as well as manipulations in contact printing and the
developing process.
