Blue Aura

ca. 1980-81, 4 min, Super-8mm. "In Blue Aura, a man and woman are asleep in bed. The dream begins with a crudely made, whirling paper spiral and the woman is twirled out of bed to her strange mission. The man remains in his own unconscious ritual, looking like a Byzantine saint in face and form. The sheets rise to either side of him in stylized drapes and fall across his body in curving pleats. The dream continues and the man joins the woman, but as if in a separate dream of his own. The film ends but the dream does not seem to; the man and woman are trapped in this half-life and dream on." — Barbara Sharres, "Trance Occurrences," Chicago Reader, January 15 1982.
