Worth the viewing. VERY Gordon Matta Clark-ey (umm, loved that about it. Gordon RULES). Sun Tunnels is in many ways a masterpiece of Bolex cinema. Cautious cutting (i.e. editing). Blaring, unpredictable sunlight blarings. Excellent and raw "16mm 1970's" location study.
Columbia University is showcasing her work. She has inspired me to remain "interested" in experimental ways of site-location documentation with hints of narrative. She is clever in delivery of an outside voice by burning momentary texts that explain HER process going on. Her work seems very important for me. Not just for the power of the documents she recorded (building of concrete cylinders, breaking mud water barriers, etc... BUT FOR HER NEED TO MAKE STORIES OUT OF DIRT AND MUD. God bless her for that.

Jane, What formats does she use? and how do you define her work?
Answer: She shot "Mono Lake" on Super 8mm and also she used an Instamatic 35mm still camera. Her films are based on outdoor sculpture site-specific studies of New Jersey & the American West visual landscapes.
