Rear Window1986

"Images were recorded in 1985 from the rear window of what used to our apartment in Brooklyn. In the backyard hanging on a neighbor’s clothes line were some towels, bed sheets and underwear.  Still grieving from the recent loss of my father, I cupped one of my hands in front of the camera lens and attempted to make tactile light, color and image.  Towards the end, whipping up a storm out of thin air."
