Director's Statement
Since 1979, I have been working in the field of multi-media and environmental installations.  About ten years ago, my hands developed excruciating pain whenever I used them to do my work.  I soon realized that I could no longer pursue my career in sculpture.  It was this unfortunate event which enabled me to seek new possibilities to continue to work as an artist.  I started to create visual images using my recently perfcted technique of digital "filming" and non-linear desk top editing (Final Cut Pro).
Double Exposure Still - Snow and Water
 
DOUBLE EXPOSURE is my first film.  I tell my story through a collection of abstract video landscapes interwoven with cinema-verite footage.  The documentary represents both past memories (in the form of super-imosed images) and present realities.  In the documentary, I present the conflicts and contradictions from the point of view of a woman with two cultures:  Chinese and American.
