“This image is a still from a video-poem called Insect Country G: Sign. In this piece I am writing a poem on my computer - as in, I am writing by hand, with a pen, directly onto the blackened screen of my computer, while a digital camera records the proceedings. From the video, a series of stills were printed on transparencies and hand-cut to be installed as part of the Homemade / Handmade Exhibit at Pace University. I'm exploring the crevices between digital and analog, poetry and film, process and product - in favor of all that lies right in between.”— Sawako Nakayasu
