Woven images set the stage for a woman’s vision of discovery. Drawn and painted directly on 35mm film, Nexus explores connections between art and nature through symbols and patterns associated with ancient matricentric cultures. Zimbabwe marimba music performed by Sukutai provides upbeat accompaniment to this evocative piece as images metamorphose from abstract pattern to natural realism with joyous artistic ease.
