My work reflects an interest in both function and absurdity.  The pieces I make are catalysts for new ideas, with a humor that plays upon our expectations of the commonplace.  In Pneumatic Lens, for example, a pea whistle also functions as an optical kaleidoscope.  Coffee Table is both a piece of furniture as well as a functional appliance inviting viewers to reflect on the history of domestic design.

I have also been working recently with found sites and spaces, gleaning poetry from their history and sense of place.  Current projects include multiples, short videos, and an ongoing series of what I call site-specific photographs.

Despite the sequential nature of film and video, I am more interested in cause and effect than traditional narrative.  My videos occupy a certain space between distilled sequences and moving photographs. Since moving images are no longer viewed within the confines of a designated space or time, what the medium can convey is constantly being redefined.

Perhaps the very first films done by Thomas Edison depicting kisses and sneezes are more prophetic today than they were at the turn of the last century. The moving image can now be more like dance, music, or poetry, taking place in time while existing on its own terms.
