  • “Thank you so much for your time. I have so many thoughts, ideas, and plans for further research based on these workshops, I feel very lucky. I am still fascinated by the use of linear and montage time, and will certainly be exploring this further in my work. Male and Female gaze is one of the concepts I will be researching further, thank you for bringing this to my attention, it was something I had never heard of or thought about. Exciting times ahead. You helped me achieve what I wanted... a technical/ideological understanding of the techniques I was already applying, + even more to explore.“
