Coreopsis

The film revolves around an envelope labeled 'Helen's Coreopsis' containing seeds from a visit in 1935. O'Neill uses discarded film stock, scratching into it to reveal layers of pink, yellow, and clear colors. This process serves as a metaphor for his recollections and the remnants of memory tied to his mother.

Coreopsis stands out as an experimental work, utilizing innovative techniques to express the fragility of personal history. The film's aesthetic choices create a visual representation of memory that is both abstract and deeply personal. Collectors interested in experimental cinema will find this film an intriguing exploration of memory and its representation in visual art.
