Martha Gregory ’19

San Francisco, CA

What a lovely two weeks! It was amazing to have space and time to think, walk and work. Jason and Tricia are incredible and kind. The place is imbued with their commitment, humor and hard work. I loved waking up early, wandering the grounds and then settling into my studio for the day.

On a visceral level, the intermittent quality of film is close to the way we experience the world. We don’t experience a solid continuum of existence. Intermittence penetrates to the very core of our being, and film vibrates in a way that is close to this core.
