Filmpoem for Wanda Phipps1995

A short film of Emily Dickinson’s poem number 1734, which begins with: “Oh, honey of an hour”.  The words of the poem appear hand painted onto the film frames.

Lights at night on Avenue A, shot on black and white and extensively and laboriously hand-colored.

A three minute roll of film shot by Joel Schlemowitz of Brooklyn, NY and mailed to Nicole Koschmann in Nederland, just outside Boulder, CO.

A garden portrait for Doris Kornish.

A short film consisting of “Little Nothings,” a poem by Wanda Phipps, read by her with the accompaniment of in-camera superimpositions.

A filmic analogy for the elusiveness of the past.
