A series of drawings from 1979 (when I was living in the Shepherd & Newman Warehouse in Darlinghurst, Sydney) are reworked as video imagery through a series of negative/positive video mattes and wipes. The same set of imagery is repeated on two monitors turned alternatively on their left and right sides to create a form of “physical” animation using the actual monitors.
