Untitled, 2021

Untitled is part of a new body of work that I started while an Artist in Residency, Struts Gallery, Sackville NB.

Untitled uses an old and familiar trick, that you might have played as a kid, where you wrap your arms around yourself, and from the back, it looks like someone else is hugging you. Loving you. Kissing you. I wanted to see what it would look like and feel like to watch myself trick myself through the camera lens. Could I still be lured into the trick? And if so, could I experience something beyond the trick as I watch myself be loved, kissed, and hugged by me? 

I seem to be interested in layering perceptions. In HAIR there was an image featuring literal layers of time, marked by my bits and pieces--my remnants. This video, for me, depicts more layers of perception, pointing at something meaningful through trickery and playback.
