I'm not sure what the theme of the suite of five 16mm films this piece was from were about but I'm guessing they were out of this world. "Monster", from the suite of five 16mm films, "Murmur" is a really bizarre piece that seems to have turned a human being into a living lightbulb. This creation is so special as it's an oddity you just don't see, an object that is reflecting and giving off its own light. The face still has shadows and has been dyed blue by the light in the environment and yet there is a strange halo of yellow bulbs emitting rays of pure white light in several directions. The whole piece in incredibly bright but it's still able to create contrast by using monotone shades blue and really darkening the shadows on the face.
