His artistic practice is an experimental mergence of analog film, sculpture, poetry, installation and performance.
His artworks are informed by his poetic response to the human encounter of our world, seeded by a desire to unveil threads to the fabric of his personal experience.
He realises works that are technically complex, driven by pure compulsion, that vibrate and encourage immersion in deep reflection.
I explore and participate in experimental film in it’s essence yet there lays a deep desire to break free of traditional modalities of the audiences participation of my ‘film work’ - the desire seeps to the surface of the foundational backbone of cinema and the beholders experience of it.
I make films.
I make film sculptures of my films.
I make live performance of my films.
I make sound on films.
I make sound from films.
I make sculptures as vessels for my films.
I make films in the most tangible way I know.
I make films from reverse engineering, for fun.
I make films to break them to their most material form to remind myself of the tangibility of life.
I make films to make sculpture to make performance, to ask myself questions and to project that onto an audience.
I showcase films with the respect that the materiality and structural nodes of analog film deserve and catapult them into the physical reality we exist.
I deeply ask of myself to escape established constructs to set my films free, selfishly as a priority and un selfishly so they can live freely in a public domain.
Film is...
Film is..
Film is.
a material as such. as ephemeral as a body as undoing as touch. defined real by the psyche. a compounding interest of found data. experience as such. a material is a product. convoluted. indulged. romanticised. by us. owned perhaps or not or so. no more so as a conversation. it flows. no more so as a light. we as a clutch. a lingering. a longing. a forever pedal. to a forever stalk. to the roots. to the deep. and cyclical and back up. light is a thing. some thing. material we cannot grasp.
light is all that we never knew before. a layer of biological film forms. our eyes be it unborn into born. our lids once full clasp.
had we gather a pathway? had we managed a thought? had we wedded our psyche? to an unimaginable force?
a light is a construct. a light is a curse. a light is a blessing. a light be it gifted. a miracle. as spiritual as birth. film is a capturing. a dying. a dead. a construct. an untouchable. a rapturing. a baggage. a release. cyclically the caught.
