work statement
This piece was a turning point in my practice because it unlocked a way of expressing blurred realities, memory, and dreams through video. I am satisfied when I can assemble my ideas into complex juxtapositions: sweet vulgarity, comedy masking tragedy, disturbing harsh textures and layers with dream-like visuals. These melodic memories of personal and public past come together in a shared visual dream that expresses Internal and external movement, and an
outward gesture of emotion.
