Inner Monster was an experimental stop-motion self portrait made on a super-8 camera in which I animated sculpted mud mask, hair, and shaving cream on my own face. I created Inner Monster as a film in 1994 while at The School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and continued to work on it in Chicago as a looping single-channel video installation. I exhibited Inner Monster in Chicago in 1995 as part of Cheap Art, a juried exhibition of work created from inexpensive materials at Betty Rymer Gallery, and in 1996 at Fresh a day-long exhibition of emerging time-based artists at N.A.M.E. Gallery.
