Cuts and Splices
“It’s funny doing everything remotely, firing things off into space and waiting for them to come back again…”
I love this snippet from the to and fro of emails with artist/film-maker Catherine Weir. After a morning filming on Arran she has distilled – from hours of ‘footage’ (pixelage?) – these 2 minutes.
Cut, spliced, chopped and shuffled, it’s been a quest for essence, a long process – with considerable patience on Catherine’s part – through which I have come to realise I prefer being behind the artwork (and not spot-lit; describing what I’d really prefer others to find – or seek – for themselves). But I’m curious to know what others think.
