Eleanor is the name of my car, a cherry red 1997 Mazda Miata gifted to me by my boyfriend after I won my Warhol Grant. "Warhol would have wanted you to have one," he said at the time. We separated shortly after, and in 2020, I began to make short videos by logging long solo drives. I posted them in Instagram stories and people responded very strongly to them. Over the next three years, the videos grew to an archive of over 200 clips, all with the exact same framing, thanks to my dashboard mount. They document my many commutes between comedy shows, art openings, hookups, auditions, and late-night shoots, falling somewhere between livestream, documentary, and conceptual film. Each sequence in the Eleanor series is a set of frames from one of the videos... the number of frames is captured and printed to fit the architecture of the space in which they're shown. Their scale references 8x10 souvenir prints, slightly elongated to maintain the 9:16 aspect ratio of the phone screen on which they're recorded. For my solo exhibition "Eleanor" at No Moon LA in 2023, we chose eight sequences according to the architectural features of the gallery. For Cosmic Connection, I chose a clip from driving through the 110 freeway tunnel near my house. The low-resolution and watery print process abstracts ordinary details of the LA night sky, making streetlights look extraterrestrial or like I'm going through a portal, which is how I like to think of freeway tunnels anyway. "Sequence no. 9 (white collar/yellow tunnel) is the first time the Eleanor series is being shown outside of Los Angeles.
