Description:

a video poam that explores what is just out of reach, at the 50x scale where there is enough resemblance to soothe and enough enhancement to unsettle.

Artist's notes:

Made in attempts to distract myself from the recent loss of 600GB of data when a 1TB external hard drive failed at the moment that I was trying to move what I arrogantly deemed my "best video work ever" to another drive. Perhaps arrogance got what it deserved, perhaps not, but The "Monday Aardvark of Laundry" updated pieces are the pieces that came out of my attitude adjustment.
An attempt to recover any of the data could cost between $2,500.00 and $7,000.00, so I made IN YOUR FACE instead --a winter break well spent, I think.
What is seen of the eye, by the way, at 50x scale is the (magnified) iris and the (magnified) pupil. The white part of the eye is not visibile except for a fraction of it for a second.
