My horror work explores what it is to be exiled, shunned, adrift, spellbound, and feral. That is, it speaks to the wild instincts we repress so that we might be allowed to participate in our brutally performative, modernly constructive culture. My pieces are casually spooky and flippantly dour. I suspect that a form of Lovecraftian horror lurks and festers inside every corporate boardroom.
My films investigate feelings of being both attached-to and adrift-in a culture that demands perpetual, performative conformity while offering nothing in return for that subservience of spirit. In both of them, feelings of absurdity infuse the fog of dread.
