‘Bruce Woods films are among the most sensual of any ‘abstract’ animated work ever made. Projected, they generate a fluid stream of organic images in a carefully controlled post-cubist space comparable to the work of painters like Jackson Pollock. Viewed one frame at a time (which is the way much of the footage is shot), they recall the rich lines and textures of such master etchers as Rembrandt. Wood’s use of camera movement during exposure of each individual frame – like drawing – together with the illusion of movement in projection make his films both beautiful and unique.’ – Bill Judson, Curator of Film, Museum of Art, Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh.
