This
projection installation is comprised of two slide projectors, and
a programmable dissolve system. It has also been exhibited as a
video. With the generous support of my friend Joy Hemphill, who
was the model, several images were taken with a still camera of
her making vacuuming gestures. These images were later edited into
a projection sequence, and painstakingly aligned to create the appearance
of smooth animation. Using only 14 images, the ghostly image of
the woman vacuums over and over again as the process replays. At
times she vacuums very slowly and other times she moves very quickly
as though trying to remove a tough spot. |

(above). It has since also been shown in Halifax at the Anna Leonowens
Gallery, and in Chicago at Gallery 2 (below). Left, a frame is featured
