video and installation art


My work investigates the nuances of moments in the grand narrative, through the use of very slow motion, close-ups and layering of images. Capturing the frame-by-frame moment when images melt into one another emphasizes the symbiotic relationship between the digital image and fractions in time. I explore abstract and exploratory scenery of real places as motifs to create a hyper-real space existing in an imaginary timeframe reminiscent of memory. Using environmental loops, non-linear narratives, and slow-motion images as patterns, I create meditative environments which suggest the expansion of space, and cyclical drifts of time.
