"Manifold" is a non-linear, personal experimental film presented on four large 4k flat screen monitors. Constructed almost exclusively from composited and collaged photos taken from a moving train (more than two thousand originals were shot during several trips between Seattle, Washington and the Willamette Valley in Oregon), the film establishes a dreamlike and liminal territory where stark industrial, agricultural and domestic tableaux are revealed in alternating succession. The Northwest landscape is the one I grew up in and generally regarded with a measure of melancholy for both its attractive and unattractive qualities. The work explores feelings resulting from the cult of private ownership and its effects on ecological and spiritual deterioration as the region grows and becomes more developed, and serves as a meditation on and critique of a reckless, fossil-fueled culture now under a renewed threat of nuclear annihilation.
