My Daddy Was a Gunman
2018, video, 2:00



A personal constellation of “Stowe-ments”—re-appropriated and re-enacted—sprung from a made-up line from a real-but-unseen film from my childhood years (Bad Girls, 1994) and deep psychic indentations left by repeated early viewings of Robert Altman’s double-VHS opus Short Cuts (1993).  Adolescent fascinations, fears, and desires are re-animated through play in front of the green screen.
