Horse
Like many, I had a hard time staying focused today (I live in Somerville, just a stones throw from yesterday’s bombing). I did a bit of work straightening up and found a Poloroid of this piece from around 1988.

Train Crash – Painting on Film
With my mechanical sculpture show all set for this Saturday I’m back to working on experimental animation techniques. Over the past week I’ve been playing with a new idea involving found video footage and paint on film. Train Crash Test from Gina Kamentsky on Vimeo.

Is Is
I have a habit of randomly selecting titles when I complete work. Some days, I pull a record album (real vinyl) and find a song title I like. For this one I selected “The Changing Face of Harlem” collection of Jazz music from the 40s and song title “Is Is” by Stuff Smith. Oh yeah, [...]

To my delight, it’s just gone public, hence this blog post. For people familiar with this site, I gravitate [...]
