The making of Louise #7

The viewer enters a film that has already begun.

Louise series

It shifts when you look. Louise hides because she wants to be found slowly.

A second panel opens the image sideways — through a curtain, a doorway, a pattern, sometimes just a sliver of another world. I like that interruption. It gives you access, but never the whole room.

Leave too soon and Louise wins.

The Louise Series

All the works of the series side by side, each in its own proportion. Move left and right, and open any painting to see it large.

Louise series

The irony is that a scene can linger. Each painting starts a film. Whether it is about you or me is another matter.
