DESCRIPTION:
Marsha Balaeva is a UK artist and director of "Joe With the Jam".

The video for "Joe with the Jam" is populated with figures plucked from the imagistic rush of lyrics in the song: e.g., "Jane with the saw" [...] "Shane with the sauce". These figures are represented figuratively and symbolically: e.g., the black gloom-shadow of the "four crooked cops". It is a depiction of a city trying to untie its own Gordian Knot.

After hearing the song, Marsha sequestered herself in her production spot, and over the last few months produced 2700 individual hand drawn frames for the video.
