In Bad Blood the constantly morphing forms and extreme slowness of the audio create a feeling of disorientation - much like the throbbing sensation of blood rushing to your head. The blood-like shapes are manipulations of reflected light and reference the sublime qualities of abstract painting as much as violent imagery. The layered sound was derived from separate recordings (without the purpose of creating any particular "soundtrack"), but juxtaposed with these moving shapes creates a new level of meaning and is surprisingly in sync with the image.

Bad Blood, 2005, (3 min. 40 sec.), dvd video/sound, dim. variable
