Born and raised in a little suburb in South Africa, I was classically trained as an artist at a very young age, but I slowly got bored with the static image an always hungered for more. It was when I discovered my father's home video camera that started my zest for the moving image.
the centre of me is always eternity, a terrible pain.
a curious wild thing searching for something beyond what the world contains, something transfigured and infinite.
