Flush — M a r s h a M c D o n a l d

I am experimenting with “flush” films (GIFS), short moving images of water.

Lit water strikes me as a tongue, a palpable language, with a visible, written form.

GIFS offer an insight into the beautiful “script of insignificance”, a kind of shorthand (not unlike drawing, cursive, calligraphy), that can be read as the common conversation of urban fountains, streams, rivers, canals and ditches.
