Harry Smith:
He seems like a fascinating character. His painted film is absolutely incredible. To have that much detail on such a small canvas is truly impressive. I've always wanted to try painting on a film strip. I've always enjoyed the tactile sensation of painting, and I want the opportunity to use more celluloid. It certainly wouldn't be as detailed as Smith's work, but it's such a beautiful blend of artistic mediums.
Maya Deren:
I loved her focus on the movement of the human body. I've studied anatomy and a minuscule amount of kinesiology, and it is fascinating to see what the human body is capable of. Exploring that in an artistic and surreal way led to some truly beautiful films. Consequently this work exemplifies what film is capable of doing that other mediums are not - capturing movement - which goes to show how much she really utilized the medium.
