ARIEL is a highly energetic and colorful divertissement of abstract film achieved with improvised home color processing and a physical, almost sculptural manipulation of the film surface.

"ARIEL, which shares its name with the airy spirit in Shakespeare's The Tempest, presents a free-wheeling tactile procession beginning with exuberant passages full of emphatic physical gestures and moves through somber burgundy patinas and bursts of delicate vitreous pools."
