i work within moving image, capturing motion and light in the physical world before transmuting it into phantasmal digital abstraction. These video pieces exist in both gallery and theater settings and utilize techniques of digital transformation and signal degradation mixed with traditional animation and in camera effects techniques. By creating tension between natural and electronic forms, my work examines the liminal space between the digital and real, altering the light and texture of the human eye into digital doppelgängers of color and motion
my films are an attempt to answer the question of how far the real can be stretched into the symbolic and when does the tangible transform into something that is much harder to grasp, specter of ones and zeros. This work uses technology as a magic mirror, re-contexualizing natural landscape and luminescence into electronic ghosts. In doing this, my work draws the viewer into an emotional dialogue with the virtual world, presenting questions about the transference of real objects into digital space, the role of perception in the virtual landscape, and our primal relationship to things both real and unreal
