Honoring San Francisco Cinematheque and the Film Pioneers of Expression

"Homestead" was made especially for the San Francisco Cinematheque, in honor of the physicality of the film surface. On the right are forms related to sprocket holes; the left side has line forms representing a soundtrack. The materials are those of construction: concrete, plaster, paint, nails, and chicken wire, and there is a sculpted form of a reclining woman or mountain range--the land that is mastered by the strong. (30" x 30" on stretched canvas) - Dick Ramsey, 2013
