Description

Produced by this world famous sculptress, Circles is an abstract film which explores space unencumbered by the forces of gravity. The basic visual images were generated on a CDA 660 computer and plotted on a 40/20 micro-film plotter. Special color effects were then added with the assistance of Olvey and Brown. 'A consistently arresting film, frequently graceful and beautiful.' - Seattle Times. '...she proves to be breaking ground with the best.' - Parker Tyler, Art News. 'One of America's leading creators of forward simplicity of this art.' - Mainichi Daily News, Tokyo. 'Her work is so sensitively designed and related in shape, in enclosed spaces, even in grain, that all possible rythmic interplay has to be successful.' - New York World Journal Tribune.
