The second industrial revolution, unlike the first, does not present us with such crushing images as rolling mills and molten steel, but with ÒbitsÓ in a flow of information....the iron machines still exist, but they obey the orders of weightless bits.
Italo Calvino, from the memo on Lightness,
Six Memos for the Next Millennium, 1985
I have always favored conceptual scale over physical scale. My pieces are tactile embodiments of intuition leading viewers from a world of objects to a world of metaphor. My process is invention through the juxtaposition of objects, concepts, and history.
A central concern in my videos is that simple illusion of motion intrinsic to kinetic imaging. I create distilled sequences with an emphasis on cause and effect, allowing video to be more like dance, music, or poetry, taking place in time while existing on its own terms. Perhaps the very first films by Thomas Edison, depicting kisses and sneezes, are just as contemporary today as they were at the turn of the last century.
