“Benton fingerpaints with video.” – Trilby Schreiber

“The first artworks I ever saw were quilts made by my mother and other women in our family and analog media art on public TV. These seminal encounters inspire my artistic vision: hand-made creations broadcast around the planet and enduring between generations."
