Material Passes Through Material, image/text video and candle installation, MOSNART, October 2012. Also installed at Governors State University Visual Arts Gallery in 2013, without candles.

Material Passes Through Material Is an image/text video “altar.” The piece combines digitally manipulated original and found footage with text extracted from Shadow Land, the 19th century memoir of a well-known spiritualist and medium of the period, Elizabeth D’Esperance. The short film is concerned with memory, loss, and “nostalgia for the future,” or “nostalgia for what never came to pass.” The film is approximately 5 minutes long and was presented in a continuous loop.
