- synopsis: The Film-Makers' Cooperative On-Line Catalog 2004
- The film begins with anamorphic lens vision of water, prismatically etched dark blue needles of watery turbulence shifting radically in sudden twists of the anamorphic lens. . . a sense of a violently roughened surface to a stream which cuts to a darkened quietude of gently evolving under-water bubbles, pulsing like living entities. The entire film juxtaposes its water surface tensions and its under-water pulsing forms of light, its blues of water surface reflecting sky, and whites of watery turbulence, and its sub surface world of quiet whites yellows and oranges, ending finally on a surface shot which resolves these tones.
- synopsis: Canyon Cinema online catalog 2004
- This "return to photography" (after several years of only painting film) was made on the eve of cancer surgery - a kind of "last testament," if you will ... an envisionment of the fleeting complexity of worldly phenomenon.
