Chuck’s Will’s Widow (1982), 12 min.; Moment (1972), 25 min.; Works in the Field (1978), 40 min.; Cartoons (1974-5), 15 min. : “A mini-retrospective of the wide-ranging films of the NY artist who currently teaches filmmaking at Sarah Lawrence College. Brand’s work marries the unlikely partners of systemics with melodrama and poetics with mathematics in an adventurous manner that still doesn’t abandon precision.” —Janis C. Lipzin
Of Chuck’s Will’s Widow, Brand has written, ““Weaves a complex of feelings and personal associations into a swirl of landscapes and abstract images. Jagged shapes swarm the surface acting variously as frames, veils, and component elements of the photographic images.”
