About

" (nodus knot, node–more at NET)... 4a: a point at which subsidiary parts originate or center... 5: a point, a line, or surface of a vibrating body that is free or relatively free from vibratory motion." In the tradition of SKEIN this hand-painted film is the equivalent of cathexis concepts given me by Sigmund Freud (in his Interpretation of Dreams) 30 years ago, finally realizing itself as vision. (Quote: Webster's 7th Coll.)
