Stan Brakhage - Unconscious London Strata

Unconscious London Strata (1981) is one of the many works of experimental filmmaker Stan Brakhage.

I feel like this piece is especially relevant to me recently, considering the direction I'm moving towards. I actually thought of this work a bit as I've been working on my latest piece for thursday's crit - especially regarding color and abstraction.

    I definitely see the parallels between your work and his. and thats really interesting i think because they're in two very different realms of working (you're digitally painting in a sense, and he's physically painting on film) but your work and his seems to be having the same conversation or ideas behind it. Despite working with in two different processes, which i think in interesting.
