Artist’s Statement
THEMES OF WORK
Human interaction. Urban action. Decay. Memory. Body. Identity. Deconstruction.
PHOTOGRAPHS
The photographs are self-portrait like or identity and memory related or document urban subject matters: the fragmented and unpredictable dialog born out of the interaction between people and the urban environment. The photos can also juxtapose and combine unexpected or seemingly impossible irrelevant objects or images.
MOVING IMAGES
The films and videos are experimental in nature. Often times there is no traditional narrative and the structure is cyclical relying on repetion, close-ups and semi-abstract ambiguity
PHOTO COLLAGES
The collages can be seen as film frames laid flat one after another or merged together in transparent compositions. In collages it is possible to destroy the linear, restricting structure of film. The movement is multidirectional and all "frames" can be seen at once and combined in countless ways unlike the predetermined frames of films.
