Funny! (our Mirror thing)
Yup, I've known Alison since, um...1985?? But we started hanging out in 1989, 90? (Alison? I have a bad memory). 9 years or so ago Alison moved to LA so I only get to see her when she's up here visiting the island...sniff...
Yup, I've still got the film (somewhere) - but because it's on Super-8 film we never watch it. It is verrry mysterious and actually holds WAY more meaning now! But, clearly, we had this Neptunian seed within us all along...pretty neat.
It is basically about this girl (Alison) who seems to catch a glimpse of something in the mirror...that isn't happening in the reality that she is in (oh yeah, Alison was born in '66 too so she is a horse too! We're a herd of horses here - Elly is one too! So is Gracey!)...anyway...It's all silent and Alison just acts with her expression. In every room she goes in she feels she sees something in the mirror. At one point she runs a bath (WATER!) and gets in (beautiful shots of her foot dipping in (I live in an old unusual place - so it kind of looks timeless to me!)....then she immerses her head in the water...more beautiful shots of her head immersing...then of her underneath the water...then emerging..ooooh! She also makes herself a pot of tea (!) and the steam out of the kettle steams away (that's nice too)....all this water and water/fire! oooh.
I can't remember how it ended, though! (Alison?)
I do love it when I think about it. So much symbolism - and we weren't even into this stuff! ha!
The seed...
Thanks for your interest!
more soon (no doubt!)
love Tracey
