Two Women installed at Floating Gallery (Winnipeg), February 1995.
Installation approximately 14 feet plus monitor and stand.


      In 1991 I began Two Women, a computer-based installation, which is in effect an early instance of a work involving multimedia technology. The monitor presents family photos and texts of interviews with the two women, Tammy and Sara; the wall component consists of two lightboxes and two cabinets in each of which three images rotate, responding to either the keyboard or software timing. Here the viewer re-processes---changes resolution, creates half-tones, zooms, rotates the images in the cabinets, and switches between images and texts and between the two lives. I've shown Two Women both without the wall component (Art Gallery of Windsor) and with an entirely different one (Moorehead State University Art Gallery); the form of Two Women is open-ended, i.e. formally it, too, is open to process and change.
