The Detroit Films (Reel #2)

“If there’s a film of mine that makes the case for multiple viewings, it’s (Reel #2). This has to be seen several times to be seen at all. The transition from filmmaking back into painting is here in the ‘props’ — 2″ clear tape strips of gorgeous debris (thread, film & petals) which later joined and grew into wall hangings, then eventually paintings. This is the level of metrics, the visual resonance I was always chasing.” (J.B.)
