Winter Li
(16mm, 1981, 6:37 minutes)
A black one-eyed cat. Does he dream of summer and having two eyes?
A faceless snowman thrives in winter's starkness.
There is frost and winter light.
A glass light-catcher radiates color.
Passing trains.
Flame and smoke rise from a barrel.
Fragments of music.
Somewhere someone is picking out phrases from Randall Thompson's "Alleluia".
A lot goes on, but not much happens. It is winter.
Finally the snowman announces the coming of spring,
and the piano plays its closing chords.
