With all these screenings and stuff coming up, I think I forgot to post this interview, which shows a bunch of work in my solo show at the Berkeley Art Museum, Matrix Program. The main thing is a huge Edison-style wax cylinder made out of a water tank. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwOM6erqHgo

It was a fun, fun project to do- I made a giant wax cylinder (think Edison sound recordings) with a bunch of wooden singers attached to it.

Also… believe it or not, no mirrors, and only one person, was involved in this haircut.
