  • Maternal Record Not Fully Recorded, A

    super 8 home movie footage captures memories not otherwise remembered while other memories never materialize in the tangible home photo archives

  • White Palace

    My early performances in thriller genres are reconsidered in a rehabilitation of images in this film. Though once renounced by me as complicit and misogynist, my filmed body is treated as recoverable for liberation of my memory.

  • Sparklene

    This is a story of the transformative effects of sparking, speculative frenzy. It questions whether embodied contact with objects and living creatures can occur outside fixed clichés of perception so that eyes can have multi-sensory effects.

  • Accidental, The

    This film is about inappropriate attention to sensory experiences other than the visual while driving and in response to an accident. Sound, touch and taste may disrupt safety to others and might threaten public order when not kept in check by the dominion of the visual. Dogs know all about this.

  • New Atlantis

    Landscape and drive-thrus transformed by real estate speculation are reanimated with magical thinking and an embodied language written in breath on a windshield. “A bird’s mind can hold only one sample. How to come here and how to return. This loop has been corrupted by blooming rot. The cat knows the curse to reset it.”

  • Chasmic Dance

    A visual metaphor for creative process as a sustained state of flux, whereby the deconstruction and reconfiguration of source material manifest themselves as a series of rapid abstract movements. Alluding to the cosmic dance of Shiva, the film is an expression of primal rhythmic energy, moving dialectically but without sublimation. Regeneration ignites destruction, and transformation invites mutation, through clashes of opposing modes such as video/film, surface/depth, and light/darkness.

  • Chiasmus

    An exploration into perceptual processes in the act of seeing and listening, “Chiasmus” takes film as a metaphor for the breathing body, through the intercrossing of the medium and the fragmented images of the body in movement. The rhythm and tension created by the interplay between sound and image, and their disjunction and conjunction, aspire to an organic and sensual moment where inside becomes outside, and outside inside.
