Handle on Nowhere (single channel version)
In Handle on Nowhere, a “mad woman” acts out a relationship where she [I] is trapped in an endless task, trying to open door handles that will not open.  The work was conceived of as a three-screen video installation with the accompanying videos on the left and right of the frame in the snow, emphasizing the sense of ennui and confoundment of the central frame. – Deej Fabyc
