my name is George Jenny and I'm a local
artist from Chapel Hill and I'm one of
the artists in area 9 19 when I'm coming
up with a new work it's kind of like
everything's happening at once so I will
I mean there's a kernel of an idea and
then I will either start to write or
start to shoot a start to draw whatever
and I'll do that thing until it's kind
of time until I sort of get stumped and
then it's time to move on to the other
other part of it so i'll write for a
little bit now shoot for a little bit
and then i'll write for a little bit
i'll shoot for a little bit and then and
so and it's designed that way because
this is the way each element informs you
know how the other is developing
we fight on the way home from night of
heavy drinking at seven miles now as you
open a car door and threatened to throw
yourself onto the highway instead of
pleading for your safety I scream
obscenities II and swerve with the hope
that the door shut itself in agreement
the stunt doesn't work like it seems it
should and I pull over fuming with fear
after a silence you tell me that you're
going to have a baby
well I'm a writer and I'm a well i would
say i'm a video artist first in a writer
second let's say but but there's this
sort of duality and
you know the the text
is just as visual and sculptural as the
video is you know like the text on the
page is it is kind of an essential
experience to the story as well it's
it's cadence is different when you read
it then when you hear it because you
determine the cadence and you sort of
determine how you where you emphasize
words and so but i also just am a big
fan of seeing words on a page you know
like I think that looks pretty cool
