Study/Sketch
1999

In this video installation work, slow motion sounds of knives swirling in mid-air and landing with a loud "thud" surround the viewer. Visually, each video documents different aspects of a traditional knife throwing performance. Some monitors depict close-ups of the eyes, hands and body of Tom Bishop the knife thrower, other monitors reveal whole and fragmented parts of myself performing as the knife thrower's assistant. This work continues previous themes of the hunter and the hunted while exploring social, physical and psychological boundaries

Study/Sketch, is part of the Language of the Rope Series (1998-2005), which stems from my lessons in trick-roping, bull-whip cracking, knife-throwing and trick riding. Videos in this series include Crack, Rope Tricks, When You Fall Off Your Horse and Study/Sketch.
