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
Slide Party
Event Documentation
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.

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
