Spill uses a cinematic device, or effect, in order to deal with notions
of threshold, appearance and threat. It situates itself in a tradition
of painting in the way it uses fog to evoke a feeling of the uncanny
or the sublime, also referencing horror and science fiction films
of the 1950's and contemporary commercial music videos. Fog and mist
were, and still are, used in Hollywood productions to designate a
shift in aspect - a movement from the natural to the supernatural.
It is a hypnotic process yet threatening, acting like a narcotic.
