Snow is a five minute video work comprised of a series of film segments taken from the last few seconds of a variety of Super 8 family films.  The short scenes in Snow were selected because they still contained the "white dots" which suddenly appear, float over and obliterate the scene.  (These dots are literally holes in the film created by Kodak as an identifying tagging system).  Although there is nothing remarkable in these ordinary scenes of family life, the video becomes a series of endings strung together forever suspending the narrative.  The dots obliterate the last clues of the story; each scene viewed in brief isolation, a small gesture of loss.
