BEAUTIFUL FUNERALS is a hand-painted double-step-printed film composed of 1) dense blackness variously punctuated by brilliantly colored jewel/flower-like shapes AND 2) interruptive white sections which are fuzzily dotted with blurred whites and criss-crossed by black “brushstrokes” and hard-edge straight black and white lines. Finally there is a brilliant pinkish flare veined with curled blue lines which engenders a resolution between these (above described) alternating modes – colors in the straight-line sections, lines among the artifice of “flowers,” a kind of dark lattice-form which knits the two modes, gray and colored “clouds” which correlate them.
