Aqueduct works through the poetic juxtaposition of narrative
fragments in an atmosphere of enforced perceptual slowness and
heightened awareness of color.  There is a submerged psychological
narrative, but the effect of the piece derives ultimately from
the slowness of the gaze and the fact that the projected images
are often in prolonged contact with one another.  

I have been deeply influenced in my work by the poet John Keats’
articulation of the concept of negative capability -- the capability
to leave off the irritable searching after of facts.  It is in the
spirit of negative capability that my work explores the possibilities
of the postponement of closure, the subversion of the narrative
impulse, and the interrogation of ideas of the self.
