"Pet, Fluffy, Cheezy, Bunny..." 1993 (6)

"This piece, made as a continuous loop, literally traces the process of a stream of consciousness, such that the process itself becomes the subject. It delineates the way in which one thought leads to the next by associations made through language, sound, image, and action. Going from pet to petting to sex, psychedelia, floating, flying, laughing, crying, etc. It's a free-associative, run-on sentence that circles around to end at the beginning." -AP

Two Women N/A

A man struts around. He removes his T-shirt, and throws it to the floor while eyeing a magazine cutout of a nude woman. She is hung dangling in the foreground, her scale shifting continuously as the camera moves back and forth. We hear two women's voices, one a voiceover of coaxing suggestions, the other a soundtrack of responsive moans and sighs. He responds to the directions of the real woman. He stalks, approaches, sizes up and then goes in for a kiss.

Crash 2004

A group of four people are seen working together on a structure made of blocks. An interloper joins their group, but can't conform to their procedures. She disrupts their activity, eventually damaging their work. A variety of tactics are employed in an effort to reform her into a productive member of their society. It seems to work and she becomes a team player. But, her seeming conformity triggers a reversal as the others see their own behavior reflected in hers. They act out destroying their own work, they lose their will and ability to function - they crash. Their shut down reveals her to be an agent of change, her actions a subterfuge.
