Peisley’s films are working with dissociative states.
The bud slipping out is fiercely erotic, it has the wonder of a sword eating woman pulling an endless object from her throat. Peisley takes back desire differentiating abuse from pleasure.

The shadows of the adult woman are shrunk to child-size as she divines with thistles across a wilderness, she wonders through liminal space, where location of self is complex.
