Meghan's response to Chris's corpse

So this is actually a one minute video with sound playing on loop. As soon as I figure out how to save a Quicktime video small enough to upload...I'll post it. I'm a little technically challenged at this point.

This is a response to Chris's black on black harbor drawing, which was a response to Jes's text. What I took from both was the muddy, everywhere and anywhere, a familiar form, and ghosts and the comfort and finding comfort of my last image. Water has been a strong theme for MAE Culpa in relation to the city. A wave seemed like a very simple way to reference the one million people that sweep in and out of the city everyday. The crowd bashes down on the island everyday and sweeps back over the bridges and through tunnels leaving only the promise of their return bringing another crash down onto the island the next day. The point of the wave pulling back from the beach and gaining strength for the next wave to form is much like the nightly rest and recovery Manhattan uses to prepare for the next day. It's the island's moment to breath and gain strength.
