Quote:
"Watersark is a film about the way we perceive things. Flowers, toy ships, cats, all the familiar objects that are a part of [Joyce Wieland's] life appear altered by being seen through the prisms of water, drinking glasses, or a magnifying glass. Sometimes the objects are animated. Always they move with the Wieland spirit of happy fantasy. For Pierre Théberge, the assistant curator of Canadian Art for the National Gallery, Watersark is 'the most extraordinary of the Canadian underground films.'"
