Watershed


Watershed
, 1994, 16mm film, 14 minutes

"She had wrenched you out too quickly,
And when you gasped, your soul fell out, 
It stayed at the bottom of a well amongst a memory of black locks drowning.” 

A film about the pain of speaking; where speech falls back on itself, carving a space in which we can touch one another and see. A space in which disparate testimonies collide, and where water is shed. The point just before a new balance is found - the point of devastation before one again remakes oneself.'
