Ricochet: Will Return

Description:

In a hospital room for hours and hours, waiting for something to change, I am impatient to know the future. My mother sleeps upright in the bed, her only expression a little snore now and then. I feel bottled up, I pace in the room, I search out the window for some indication that this dull moment will pass and a better one will come.

The concept for the video series, "Ricochet: Thought to Idea," is pretty simple. I shoot images and match them with my spoken-word pieces: funny stories about something that really happened, or an abstract concoction of things that bounce through my mind. They're little art videos that make you think. (By the way, what are you thinking right now?)
