I made this as a memorial for a friend who suddenly passed away. I plan to make a second panel using different footage from the same film with my own added video inserts and voice over for a sister-friend and artist, Gelsy Verna, who passed away March 11, 2008. I will miss her, though our paths crossed physically once or twice, we were and always will be kindred spirits.
