Hollowed is a series of short video and photographic performances for the camera that took place over a three-year period of time at a rural site near the Mississippi River in Missouri. Setting up a station with a permanent tripod in place, video and photo works were shot periodically throughout those years as seasons and the environment changed. Changes in seasons, weather and daylight are dramatic, while the log carved out by decay and the figure within it are subtle in their constancy with the performances reflecting upon patterns of movement in nature and the stirring and stilling of time.    DV-SD/4:3
