seed
Artist: Leslie Peters
Work ID: 27320
Description: 2002 [VHS colour, 4 min. 20 sec.]
seed reveals shadowed stalks of wheat that ripple and tremble in a biting wind. This hidden, but innately familiar environment recalls emotions that are deeply embedded in memory and place. This work occupies an intangible but active terrain that exists between the ethereal and the corporal shifting, cautiously between materiality and fragility. An elusive reality that swells and collapses, mutates and endures, all the while waiting to be found.

basin
Artist: Leslie Peters
ID : 27318
Description: 2002 [VHS colour, 3 min. 58 sec.]
basin is silenced memory, an abstracted non-verbal narrative that uses both image and sound to reveal an unheard internal dialogue.
The image and sound of a river takes the place of language, expressing constantly shifting emotions that range from a seemingly calm, disturbed
quiet to the stuttered breath of withheld anxiety. Image and sound fold in on each other creating a confused, startled and essentially numb
atmosphere. The wire fence, always looming, frames the river's action alluding to the strangled voice that holds the silence tight. basin can be
presented as a single channel piece or a two channel, double projection video installation.

lot
Artist: Leslie Peters
ID : 27319
Description: 2001 [VHS colour, 2 min.]
An investigation of the intersecting points of technology and the landscape. Lot is both an emotional and theoretical place that exists between these points.
"The light in the sky is luminous. The image is about to shimmer. But it is beauty held back by a trenchant hand, restrained. It is not yet the time. This beauty is all in the becoming, about to become beautiful. Not quite born, this vision of a landscape not knowable becomes fearsome,
threatening." (Lisa Steele, V/Tape description from the program "creeped out" presented at TranzTech, Toronto International Video Art Biennial, 2001).
