35mm Multi-Image Slideshow ✷ Work In Progress

Using direct-animation techniques (where marks are made directly onto film surfaces) this multi-image slide show utilizes 4x Kodak Ektagraphic Slide Projectors on continuous auto-loop. The result is a stream-of-consiousness, haptic image show which can only be experienced together— in real-time, real-space. Each 35mm slide is crafted by hand through a variety of mixed media methods. Scratching, painting, burning, and collaging gels & film stock are all game. Now at 30% completion, in the end this work will include a 320x slide library.

🍯 PROJECTION JAM

Interactive Effects Workshop
“Projection Jam” using three 35mm slide projectors & four OHP's. Co-hosted with filmmakers Cheyanne Hiott & August Schaller. Explored various effects including operating shadow puppetry, moire patterns, static masks, layering slide with liquid light and various materials (ie: iridescent pinwheel, smoke, cutouts, gel) also explored long throw projection and how overheads + slide projectors layer with various brightnesses. We set-up and invited folks to play around with materials. The event also included live editing & digital projection from local filmmaker Felix Carlson.

Third Friday Slide Party


Save the Date
⭐️Make slides with me! We will make 35mm slides with mixed mediums (all supplies provided). 🎨Similar to a direct animation & scratch film technique we will be making direct marks on film & gel filters to make pictures. 📽️ Throughout of the night we will view everyone’s creations on a vintage Kodak Ektagraphic Projector. 

When: Friday, May 16th ✷ 6pm-9pm 
📍 Where: Super G Print Labs

📍JENGOS PLAYHOUSE
Layered Multi-Image at Indie Cinema  Screening

In-Person Performance

Interactive multi-plane layered projection installation at Jengos Playhouse. Setup included one Kodak Ektagraphic slide projector with one masked overhead slide projector (OHP) that is manually adjusted in real-time. Invited folks to draw pictures inspired by the film screening via dry erase markers on transparent templates I created.

Multi-Plane Experiments

Experimentation for In-Person Performance

I am currently building a multi-image slide show utilizing 4x Kodak Ektagraphic Projectors on auto-loop. The final installation will bring together 320x handmade slides and I am 30% to my end goal.

In the meantime however, I have ±80 solid slides to play with and have been invited to show part of the in-progress work at a local indie cinema. As a result I started working to make an abridged version of the slideshow that can be performed solo, in-person. What that looks like at the moment is layering one slide projector with one masked overhead slide projector (OHP) that I can manually adjust in real-time (with a liquid light layer and a static object shadow layer).

This is done via a multi-plane setup... a method I co-opted from an animators toolkit (typically used to downshoot layers of flat materials... such as in paper animation.)

Slide Party

Event Documentation  


I hosted my first Slide Party in January and was blown away not just much fun everyone had but also what amazing slides we made together! To the right/below is documentation of the event plus a clip of us “ooooh and ahhhh” ing at eachothers slides!

We had a blast! No phones, all hangs! In total about 10 people were in attendance (both artists and non-artists). In the end about 30x slides were made. This included one “exquisite corpse style” collaborative slide which everyone touched, scratched, marked, or added onto. This was an idea that a guest (my neighbor!) invented on the spot which we will continue at the future parties. Next party will be held in early Spring in the Raleigh/Durham, NC area. Reach out for more info!

Multi-Image Slide Show   

Work in progress (30% completion)

I am currently building a multi-image slide show utilizing 4x Kodak Ektagraphic Projectors on auto-loop.

The final installation combines the unexpected results of analog machines with simple materials to display a 3’ x 5’ window of 35mm handmade slides crafted through my own variety of mixed media methods with roscolux gels & collaged film stock

This 320x slide library will also include a small handfull of 35mm film selects from my deceased grandfathers travel archive as well as guest artists’ slides created at quarterly at “Slide Parties”.

Bringing people together in real-time and real-space, the work exists to turn backs to digital so we can turn our bodies towards eachother. I am currently, seeking opporunities to socialize the work and develop it further with collaborative live-performance elements (ie: sound, liquid light, movement/dance, shadow puppet).


Completed in 2019, 2022, & 2024

Layering: Visual Tests
