A consistent process that started more than three years ago, Seiters describes her self as an in-director, noticing the tangents and pulling out fragments from an ocean of material.
She writes about her decision to finally share this work, "It is long-delayed and too soon, emergent and well-established, known and what-is-it-ish? Prominent elements have faded, accidental happenstances have become central, and traces of our long process are in and out of focus."
