My work, "Mp4", delves into the intersections of photography and videography, exploring themes of memory and the passage of time. Rooted in my early years as a traditional artist, my creative journey has evolved to embrace a digital approach, reflecting how technology shapes the way we preserve and interpret our experiences. Inspired by the concept of "memento mori", I aim to capture fleeting moments of beauty and significance, reminding us of the impermanence of life.

"Resonance" is a story of how we connect with the world and each other in meaningful ways, told through the dance of light and the visual essence of vibration, attraction, and sound.

ice cracks rivers rise they called it winter Filmed in Greenland, “they called it” follows the twists and turns of ice melting and flowing out of the Arctic Circle, anticipating a world in which all northern ice has melted. These shots can also be seen in my recent cinematic song cycle, "MELT: the memory of ice", which premiered at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science as part of the 2024 Digerati Experimental Media Festival, curated by Sharifa Lafon / Denver Digerati.

A nod to 'Alice in Wonderland', "Consume Me" is a work full of resplendent color and moments of layered ambiguous space that leads the viewer on a journey through the macro and the micro; shrinking into scenes of the living room fish tank, stacking imagery of dried florals reactivated with water with rippling tides from the Mediterranean Sea as well as a backyard pool.

"Wildness" is an abstract video animation that explores the relationship between water scarcity and the wild horses of the West. This animation weaves together imagery that evokes the fluidity and tenuousness of these majestic creatures’ survival amidst dwindling water supplies. Through this dialogue, I hope to inspire a deeper connection to our shared responsibility in protecting these vulnerable landscapes and the stories they hold.

"Working Drawing" examines the medium of drawing as the primary document by which architects communicate construction information. But what happens if an architect begins to produce different kinds of drawings to communicate more than just the organizational rationales of construction? Where does beauty live in the architect's drawing, and how is it communicated before the building is built? Looking at line drawings, impressionist paintings and mosaic collages, "Working Drawing" imagines which personas that Denver's Kittredge Building could adopt relative to different possible forms of architectural practice.

Inspiration came when Senior Artist Alex Riczko read an article about mycelium found on asteroids, and how there is a chance mushrooms effectively came from space. That inspired the visual of bioluminescent mycelium, producing energy so dense and powerful that it has the ability to form portals to other dimensions.

"Benevolent Beasties" captures often misunderstood ancient mythological creatures, legendary cryptids and spirit beings simply existing in their habitat of Planet Earth’s cryosphere and winter months. A reminder that even in the midst of fear, the unknown and life’s harshest conditions — the way out is through. Stay curious, open, and never judge a benevolent beastie by its fur, or lack thereof.
