The Earthsong of the Cricket
NR 3 min
This is a handpainted work whose shapes are scratched on black leader filled with varieties of color the resultant shapes tend to suggest insectlike movements a rub of bentlines together suggesting the electric hind legs of the cricket whose movements engender thru elaborate stepprinting quick pullbacks within frames of the film so contrived as to create visual agitron lines within the zoomlike effect whose rhythm approximates a crickets repetitive sound This effect is echoed ephemerally later in the film as it nears its end of muted pulldown shapes and approximations of the earthclodlikenesses andor autumnal leaflikenesses which begin the film
