No money no honey- first edit.

First complete section of my no money no honey piece. I would reccomend Rob Agers film analysis of Kubriks movies both as an intial understanding as to the genesis to this video piece, but also as a fine example of critical thinking.

A good man driven to the edge.

The image of the women linked by flimsy thought bubbles is ironic, the white woman is providing us with her thoughts. She herself, is prejudiced against because of her gender, but sits, pre occupied, not recognizing it.Her thoughts are the most shallow and ill informed which is again ironic, based on the    idea that  a woman is incapable of having intelligent, creative thoughts, instead focusing on the material, laying at her feet. Which are of course, de beers blood diamonds.
I tend to use the layout of this simple collage either to develop stronger, more detailed work or it leads in to painting or drawing.

one hundred thousand divided by five.

I really like this style of text art, a simple primary background with text floating on it as though a screensaver. It has its influence in the design of saul bass and the  works of Rauschenberg and Rothko. Sammo the alter ego urban guru of Basquiat also plays a role in the development of these peices. Could this blend in to the background, its simple yet obscure text become like the event it narrates.
The work is related to the 'a fifth of Menenzes' in that Menenzes was portgeuse as is the langauge used. The title is based on the hundred thousand pounds his family got in compensation for the five bullets he was shot with. The language disparity highlights the frustration of communication that failed everyone on the day he was killed.

Today i worked on a movie.

The script, production and direction was by Monica Wie. The story is about a young woman who loses her fiance, she spends the rest of the film trying to connect to her memorys of him by collecting ties.
I played the fiancee, it was an unusual experience for me, despite the proffessionalism of the film crew, because i was unused to acting and film sets.  I will try and post a sequence of me acting when i can get it.
