Ima Plume Trilogy, 2003

I have completed "Behind the Eyes are the Ears" with collaboration on the soundtrack from Zach Soares. "On a Phantom Limb" was completed in 2009 with the support of a Guggenheim Fellowship and a generous grant from LEF Moving Image Fund.
The music from "Behind the Eyes are the Ears" is available for free download.

Film Notes
ON A PHANTOM LIMB (2009, 35 minutes, video)
This film examines the journey of a human-made hybrid, a surgical creation – part woman, part bird – passing through death, purgatory, and returning to life. The boundaries of reality, fantasy, documentary, and fiction are blurred in this reprise of classic themes, dilemmas, and consequences of reanimation.
“The monster did not choose this for her self, to be an amalgam for alchemy.”
BEHIND THE EYES ARE THE EARS (2010, 25 minutes, video)
This mix of 16mm, animation, found footage, and live-action footage follows the research of Dr. Sheri Myes and her revolutionary attempts to expand our perceptions and consciousness. The filmmaker began the project by writing a song cycle, and then imagery was developed through a series of drawings. The film is influenced by classic ‘mad scientist’ horror films like DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE, and by research into the physiology of insects.
Total running time: ca. 70 minutes.
