:\Eclipsed

The pieces I create are meant to live somewhere between memory and speculation, hallucination and clarity. I return often to the symbolism of the glitch. The world was built upon glitches, evolution is made possible through little mishaps in our DNA. In my work, glitches serve as symbols for the gaps in our knowledge and understanding, while also signifying the literal degradation initiated by time or catastrophe. This all serves to suggest an entropic reality, populated by strangely meaningful objects, apart from but alongside the one we know. Here the glitch inspires meaning-making, creating mythologies.
My work is very process oriented. I drag my video/film work through numerous processes and programs, embellish it with animation, subjugate it to manipulation, take it apart and reassemble it.
I begin with questions and end on them as well, weaving real-life cultural material with science fiction to inform my speculations. My recent work generates a catalogue of interrelated artifacts from an alternate (or not?) future timeline. In a quest to authentically “bend” my video data, I layer mediums and techniques, constantly squeezing data from digital to analog and back again. It is important that the texture of a piece develops naturally. I create purposefully and invite accidents in equal measure.
