Thesis Exhibition: April 2 - 5, 2014

Opening Reception: Friday, April 4, 6 - 8:30pm

From behind the camera, I position myself as a mediator and an observer: I am the viewer, the recorder and the recorded.  My subject can only really be myself watching myself. This perspective is transient; the image that you see in front of you may be in reality an infinite space behind, echoed in the deep pool of a glassy surface.  Thus, walls become translucent, barriers permeable. 

At any one time, we may experience a multiplicity of viewpoints/ layers of view upon view/moment upon moment.  I adopt a subjectivity that never assumes something is static or unchanging: everything is viewed through a lens or layer of some kind and is always subject to transformation.  Constructing and recording perception, my observations of existence within a landscape take on nonlinear forms—the grid and the loop oscillate and expand.   
The majority of my videos document a physical intervention.  Approaching video as if it is an imprint of a moment in time, I project an existing video into a new context and re-record it; reproductions are transformed and documented indefinitely.  Every recording punctuates the rhythm of a fluid and nomadic practice.  Ideally, this work should be encountered as a sculptural installation, which implicates the viewer’s body within the physical space of a room and contingent to the particularity of a projected moving image.  

I believe that we both form and are informed by the places that we inhabit, and I am interested in assumptions about how we look at the world and at images that simulate it.

Empty, like the valley.
