Flapping Things (1974) is the first in the series of works in various media which I call VISIBLE INVENTORIES. Edited in the camera, an assemblage of subtle motions of objects in the wind (flags, ribbons, leaves) which speak delicately to the senses.
"This is as its title suggests. Things flap in the wind. But more happens: there are light and color changes which affect the way things are seen and photographed. Then there is a coolness in the editing which gives the film a sharp sense of the artist behind it." -
