Enid Baxter Blader Threshold C oncerned with community ties, backwoods poignance, and odd romance, I create framed narratives of transitional rural realities. I was born in 1974 in a Revolutionary War reenactment town that was being slowly strip-mined to death. My work is informed by the late 20th century youth experience on the edge of a hillbilly Eastern mountain culture continually threatened by suburban sprawl. I weave together sound, image, and time, creating unexpected video locations.
Events resonate and generate video ripples within a unique colloquial language.
