Director Statement


In this work, I wanted to create a modern collage of the abstract ideas and complex images found in J Read’s lyrics, and ground them in the environment that helped create them: Newark. My work blends 1970’s effects with modern color keying effects and rhythmic patterns to convey a lucid waking dream inside the artists’ mind.
