In "Images Diffused by Time," still photographs and choreographed movements comprise the body of this work by Martha Gray. In this moody work, filmed at Fort Strong on Long Island in Boston Harbor, three dancers (a man and two women) move through the rocky landscape. Against the backdrop of the ruins of the fort, the reaching and curving gestures are lyrical in tone. Susan Dowling works her way down a misty path at the work's completion.

Unidentified classical music accompanies the work.

The women wear light-colored flowing pantsuits and the man wears red pants.
