A Smell of Blood

Hoddle Street Suite A process of gradual revelation - while it is not a measured and sequential revelation, the viewer must collect and correlate fragments of visual information - initially the "view" is restricted by the limitations of the camera lens and its angle of acceptance and then the application of the mask systems re-orders and further restricts it.

Farewell Boleyn A look at the history of this famous ground

Winter Fence "A fence to contend with winter storms. Auld Lang Syne. Memories of green. 'Benigne fac, Domine, in bona voluntate'. The organ at Fenway park on Yaz' last day. Saturn, bringer of old age, and a meditation on that long, unrelenting road and enduring the weight of the journey." —Abbott Meader

Summerfall Black Berries "A silent, in-camera improv that contemplates the early autumn colors and forms of some weathered, wild blackberries growing along a rural Maine railroad track. The berries themselves are gone - into many mouths or fallen to earth. Winter, as yet unseen, approaches from afar. The superimpositions were done in the camera and there was no further editing of the film." —Abbott Meader

Spem in Alium "The title of the film is that of the great 40 voice part motet by Thomas Tallis, (1505 -1585) which he composed around 1575, rather recently in geological time. The imagery is a personal response to the music, which soars in its entirety over the duration of the film. The opening line of the motet, translated from Latin, reads as 'I have never put my hope in any other than thee'. Each person will have a unique personal conception of 'Thee', and so it is in life - this mysterious gift that we say we are living - this unrequested gift, this task and calling that we may either accept, avoid, or reject." —Abbott Meader

Winter Li "A black one-eyed cat -does he dream of summer and having two eyes? A faceless snowman thrives in winter's starkness. There is frost and winter light. A glass light-catcher radiates color. Passing trains. Flame and smoke rise from a barrel. Fragments of music. Somewhere someone is picking out phrases from Randall Thompson's 'Alleluia'. A lot goes on, but not much happens. It is winter. Finally the snowman announces the coming of spring, and the piano plays its closing chords." —Abbott Meader
