practice co-dependency

Your advice is invaluable, make a note for the future book...affirmations and truisms - chapter one, lets say, no more hallucinations for family members.

Co-dependency of practices - Sarah Morris makes paintings and films. The films are implied narrative explorations of the parts of a city; the thoroughfares, the inhabitants, the interiors spaces and back out to the aura of the entire space. She uses repeating sound tracks and what would be considered b-roll footage to give a specificity to location. The paintings are linear geometric abstractions that resemble reflections across mirrored skyscrapers and other buildings' windows.

What is fascinating about this work is how the two practices, very different in production and outcomes, need each other. Here are two paintings and her first two films, AM/PM and Midtown.

AM/PM (1999)


Midtown (1998)
