“"Clippings" [is about] how we digest the myths and the monsters and the information of our history and of current events. Literally it's the idea of how we look at a newspaper. On the same page you see these snippets or these fractions of people's lives, highly potent images.
[The piece examines] how we look at that piece of paper and how we see all those juxtaposed. The piece is read very much like that; we cut between phrases and different emotional states very quickly, almost portraying how you digest this information on a piece of paper. As characters or as people, we start to juxtapose it and relate it to how we create our own personal histories and how we start to look at information in our own minds. [The idea is] breaking up our personal histories and looking at them as if they were just newspaper clippings, fragmented idea of stories.”
