"Continental Drift" by Jill Scott, scan from the VideoFest ‘92 program booklet.

1989, Diagnosis: Breast Cancer. This investigation compares the process of speculation and excavation in the landscape to the process of diagnoses and treatment in human illness. The relationship between the crust of the earth and human skin. Water is used as a metaphor for the life force and the graphics are representations of chemical structures (DNA) and geological references. The structure of the tape deals with the drifting personalization of the body's interior landscape and compares this with the condition of the exterior outer crust.
