This morning I began trying to make a stop motion animation with my wire lady. I had started when I kind of questioned the point of it...yes I was showing movement but was I really capturing the idea of a trace...? I feel I have moved away from looking at human traces solely following our movement .... I'm experimenting with the idea of the trace we leave behind once we are no longer in that space...it's a trace, a ghost like blur, a sixth sense, a memory, it's nothingness with a sense of someone's presence. So I decided to grab a wire cutter and break up my wire woman.... remove her from the space ( after hours and hours of work and wire cuts to actually create her, this was difficult but I felt it was necessary!!). As she disappears the space becomes empty, but we remember her presence there, a trace of her is left behind......or so I think anyway!!
