A short preview of the upcoming project "free association," which explores common stereotypes, archetypes, and other labels imposed on women.

A preview of the second sequence of "free association," which focuses on the concept of woman as "captive," "submissive," "slave," "owned," "powerless," and other related terms. The block text fading in and out over the main image is meant to link this sequence to the other ones currently in progress. Again, finished piece coming in December. Thanks for the views, and for your support.

"free association" project preview, sequence 3 - "femme fatale." as with the other works, photo-animation and body paint are used to explore a particular stereotype, archetype, or label ascribed to women. in this clip, we briefly explore the term "femme fatale" on the body of a half naked model.

Part 4 of the "free association" project preview - a hybrid performance art, video art, and animated piece exploring common stereotypes, archetypes and labels ascribed to women. This short clip deals with my personal favorite label - "adventuress" - a term for which I've held a great deal of fascination over the course of my lifetime. I would like to think I fall under this category [even if other people who have a difficult time dealing with my lifestyle would prefer to call me a "whore," "sinner," "b*tch," or "gold digger" (for how I handled those labels, see the previous videos)]. This clip is different from and not to be confused with the music video for Princess Pinay - "Adventuress," which is around on this channel somewhere (and parts of which are used in the first episode of my webseries "The Business"). Anyway, enjoy. xoxo, d. PS--Next clip, "baby doll" coming soon!

Part 5 of the "free association" project -- a hybrid performance art, video art, and animation piece about common stereotypes, archetypes, and labels ascribed to women. This piece focuses on the "baby doll" stereotype. [This is my favorite edit of these 5 sequences so far, even if it's far from my favorite stereotype.]

A video love letter to my new lover utilizing a combination of personal footage and various forms of animation. The rotoscoped sequences are from a film we worked on together ("knife play"/"yours truly") which marked a point of no return in our relationship, and ended the relationship I was in with someone else at the time. If you don't know anything about rotoscoping, it's a very time-consuming, labor intensive process in which one stares at a sequence of film or video and traces over every individual frame to produce an animated sequence. Being forced to stare at this particular moment while I had it on my mind and draw it out proved to be meditational, akin to fumbling with the individual beads of a rosary during a lengthy penance. That being said, it helped me form my own conclusions about my new partner, and how to perhaps better conduct myself during this relationship. (Oh, don't worry, we'll still be making risqué material. Don't unsubscribe!) [notes: first screened publicly in October, delayed internet release]

"read between the lines, motherfucker: strained gender relations through three books (and a magazine) rejected by a male green apple book buyer" is a classic battle of the sexes tale told through...three books (and a magazine) rejected repeatedly by a male green apple book buyer. tension seethes between a group of dethroned beauty queens and a pack of male horror movie villains. who will get the upper hand?

A hybrid, experimental live-action/animated piece (from 2014) set to two Magnetic Fields songs ("When My Boy Walks Down the Street" and "Let's Pretend We're Bunny Rabbits"), featuring cut out animation, stop motion, digital animation, and live action footage, meant to be an inquiry into my fetishistic adoration of men who wear glasses, using media examples and personal footage.
