Director Statement

My layered hybrid DIY experimental audiovisual film/video/multimedia works connect poetry, music, and visual imagery for reflexive explorations of topics such as nature and culture, identity and subjectivity, history and memory, trauma and survival. They explore a marriage between digital media convergence and the vitality of hand-making during tumultuous times.
