VIEWMASTER finding !



My last film for the GIRLSTORIES trilogy is "in the works".

The film is told as a "slideshow presentation" via a toy viewfinder (that was my idea).

I never went to the toy store looking for the thing yet, as I've been finalizing the script. WHEN all of the sudden on a simple stroll downtown, ALAS, i walk right past an antique VIEWMASTER toy for sale at some antique thrift shop. I talked the lady down from $10 to $5. Got my shots of this thing that i needed, and now it sits on my workdesk as a...ummmm. what do they call that...oh yeah, a "souvenir".

God works in mysterious ways. Why the hell would a broken crapVIEWMASTER be out in some thrift street fair. Nobody would buy that thing BUT ME. CRAZY.

LUV it.

bye bye for now.

luv, MExoxo

About the loss of artist Jo Spence



Question:
To what extent did your working together enable you to address issues of loss and mortality?
Was mourning and grief an aspect of your relationship with Jo during the last year of her life?

Answer:
Thinking about the question after Jo's death, I can see a recent project was my unconcious way of dealing with the fact that we would never see each other again. It was like the war photographer who has to get that last shot no matter what is happening around him. I suppose I would have overcome some of the loss and trauma had she just drifted away without being part of the last creative project. Unfortunately, cancer waits for no one.
