“I had shot a B&W reversal camera roll of this tree as my contribution to the ´A Roll for Peter´ memorial for Peter Hutton and, happy with the result, pursued it further, adding color negative even. In the mid-1970’s as I was beginning to work in film I started an in-depth study of discontinuous single-frame editing as perceptual enhancement training. This footage, 40 years later, filmed primarily as continuous shots over all four seasons, has been deconstructed into single frames, reconstructed through a variety of scored arrangements, and edited into a composition in Adobe Premiere on my laptop.” (Henry Hills)
