"I am really speechless
and inspired. While watching
the film I imagined myself
sitting on a concrete floor
of her studio. I could feel the
large towering sheets of
paper streaming above me."

Ashes to Ashes...The Art of Rebecca Haseltine
Original format: miniDV
Running time: 9:33


In response to the Sept.11 attacks on the US, visual artist Rebecca Haseltine went into her studio at Hunters Point and began to draw. Her medium was charcoal dust and pencils. The work that ensued is poignant, moving and reflects the mood of the country, as well as, her personal reactions to this horrible event. In this brief documentary, Rebecca discusses her artistic process and the role of the artist in expressing the unimaginable.

"What an amazing process.
So much artistry and patience
is required to carve a statue.
The filmmaker really caught
the artistic energy and attitude
of Nicholas so well. I want to
see the whole film."

This film interweaves an English Master Stone Carver's creation of a seven-foot marble Venus with his thoughts on the ancient craft and his personal story.
