Bound, 2 channel video, 2021
Made with my collaborator Erin Ethridge during a period of quarantine and isolation due to the Pandemic, Bound is a poem about longing for a loved one from afar and finding solace in both technology and the natural world. From our respective homes and video channels (Erin in the Blue Ridge and me in the Catskills), we attempt to breach the space between us, collapsing 700 miles of the Appalachians into an infinitesimal edge. By treating this inner edge of a two channel video as both a meeting point and fault line, Bound explores a digital realm where space between phrases, bodies, mountain ranges, and time frames can be folded and rearranged, fragments sutured and healed.
Bound is scored with original music by Colleen Marie.
