rough mix

HD Video, 65 seconds , colour, 2012

I have repeatedly returned to the image of laundry hanging on my backyard clothes line. This is not a nostalgic image, although I am conscious that it pretends to be, because my mother never used a clothes line, she used a dryer, even in the summer. I have one because I live in an old house. I took this 16mm film footage and tinted and toned it and superimposed it on top of itself, often slightly out of phase. The mixture of this image and the sound, the roughness of the original hand processed, 16mm film clip of my laundry hanging on the clothes line, the roughness of the layered effects on the image, and the roughness of the layers of slowed down cow bell that make up the sound combine to motivate the title.
