I have been working with the moving image for the past ten years, primarily in documentary and experimental forms. Over this time my work has evolved aesthetically, however the core issues remain the same:

I believe that beauty can change the world–the vibrations emitted by color, sound, and light have a qualitative affect upon the consciousness of the viewer. My work attempts to get the vibration right.

I believe the personal is political. My work is formed by the tension between the desire to live in community and the solipsistic abyss. Through the process of making a film/video I hope this gap is breached, at least for a moment.

My approach is highly intuitive. I try and follow the light and listen to the voice when it says, “pull out your camera and shoot.” Conversely, I listen to the feeling that tells me to leave my camera in its bag. This approach is extremely beneficial in working with dynamic human subjects, often in uncontrolled situations. My work uses many forms of the photographic image—still and moving; digital and film. The key component is the story. The technology I choose to use on a specific project should be in service to the narrative, not the narrative in service of technology.

Ultimately, my work is an exploration of human relationships: between myself and my subjects; between my subject and their community; between community and nature; between nature and technology.
