Strand magnifies an unconscious coping behavior during a moment of stress and frustration. There is a peculiar beauty in the texture and resilience of hair and the hand's continual combing through it – an action that becomes more aggressive as it builds into pulling and twisting. The repetitive notes on the piano and shifts in playback produce an impression of extended suspense and 'getting hung up' without resolution.

Strand, 2004, (3 min. 18 sec.), dvd video/sound, dim. variable
