A small segment of the film Microscopic Love in now on the website. I am also going to be cleaning up the website a bit, and creating a seperate Gallery page. I think it will make things a bit more organizied. I also added the night shots and last day shots from Garden Fate, which is in the Movie / Installation section. I don't know when they plan to finally tear down the building, but hopefully I can be there to see some of it and photograph it.

Well, Microscopic Love was changed to a time-lapse film for the Lilliput Show I did at home and presented on an Ipod screen. The show stated that every peice be presented no larger than 1.5 inches in size. I guess I took it to literally. But I will have segment of the movie up on the website soon, and of course, check out the show which is great at Red Saw. They also have a cool catalog of the show you can purchase.

And below is my artist statement.

Microscopic Love: The Intimate Fluids Through A Microscope

While doing research for this project I came across this article on seminal fluids:

The normal environment of the vagina is a hostile one for sperm cells, as it is very acidic (from the native microflora producing lactic acid), viscous, and patrolled by immune cells. The components in the seminal plasma attempt to compensate for this hostile environment. Basic amines such as putrescine, spermine, spermidine and cadaverine are responsible for the smell and flavor of semen. These alkaline bases counteract the acidic environment of the vaginal canal.

It is fascinating that nature would make reproduction such an adversarial event even on the microscopic level, and I started to imagine work revolving around this idea.
Microscopic Love is a series of time-lapse film segments of seminal fluid, blood and vaginal secretion viewed through a microscope or macro-lens. Each segment is a manipulation of one or all of these fluids, such as freezing, blood drying and coagulating, or one fluid taking over another. The sounds are of a patient with bronchitis and the sound of a human heart, both taken from a website for medical students to diagnoses irregular heat rhythms and breathing
