A musical satire of gender roles based on classic plays by Aristophanes. Animation is accomplished by means of marionettes and wire figures posed for stop-motion effects.
My video work relies on digital photography for stop-motion effects and to prepare backgrounds inserted into a video frame using green screen; additionally, digital video and video editing are necessary to produce the final product. Without exception, my videos have a musical soundtrack, and that, too, I produce digitally with the use of composition software. When I was a boy in the 60s, Etch A Sketch, Spirograph, and the Kenner's Give-A-Show Projector were the advanced technology available, and I mention this because my aesthetic was forged in the play-like interaction between the artist and his "crayons." A hyper-attention to achieving the kind of detailed perfection computerized technology provides has practically no interest to me.My single concern is to assert the uniquely flawed consciousness behind the art.
