Aphrodite
(16mm, 3.5 min, 2019, USA)
- from a meditation at the Mediterranean Aphrodite temple, ancient site overlooking the sea, considered her birth place: touch & gentleness of women's space as feminist, necessary, healing and contemporary; sound is the voices of water, precognitive, immersive, trance

Evening Star
(HD, 20 min, 2019, USA)

- a desert hot springs bathhouse at night under Venus, in her Evening Star aspect: water, static and grain allude to love and sex as dissolving principles; formal landscape as body.
Sound intensifies narrative through liminal space, the approaching stranger, mid-century desert architecture, Modernist abstraction, dissolving the western.
