Her films range in content through painterly expressions of poetry\, improvised abstraction and animated social documentary\, with her clever wit and humor always close at hand. Working directly before the camera\, she applies bits of clay\, blends colors and etches fine lines to create a seamless ?ow of images\, that are\, in turns\, both lyrical and surprising.
