"We do not think that Cece Chapman is currently studying Rainer Maria Rilke, but she seems to have captured a California Carnival version of The Duino Elegies in her photography and in her video." The Houston Literary Review says about Whisperwish from Signs,Wishes&Wonders. This collection of six hybrid folk-fairytales consider that rainbow bridge of stories connecting our animal instincts and human nature, consciousness and unconsciousness, mystery and magic. The group includes four other videos... Once Upon A Sign soon at Rural Messengers Press, Wonderstrike, soon at Wild Violet magazine, The Wicked Witch Gets Her Wish from the Kino poem by Jeff Crouch and just posted here, Once, soon at The Houston Literary Review. Also the graphic story Ever After. |

See Night Trip and Sleep Lab at The Houston Literary Review who says..."Who's been spying on my dreams? Living on my computer, Showing up in the weeds? The ticket, the departure, and yes, I've caught you, but what does it matter? You've gone again like my last layer of skin." ...about Night, Sleep&Dream, the trio of videos that consider who we are, where we go and what exactly it is we do half our lives...with extreme music by Blaine Reininger, Grat Bodkin and Deirdre Lynd...THLR includes a link to Dream Dance at Litchaos |

"Cece Chapman has discovered that the undiscovered country called consciousness resides in video, and she asks us to get up and dance to the whistling wind in the viewing room of Plato's cave while consciousness blinks its merry flicker on the wall. Indeed, with the metaphors, mirror, magic, shadow, and mystery, Chapman creates a skin for dreams to live in, a skin as thin as a digital shadow."...The Houston Literary Review writes about the video group called 34FATE with Hoodoo Jinx Spell, Trouble, and Fat Chance, three videos that question our notions of chance, luck, and fate, perhaps too closely. |
