Statement :
I am a video editor and experimental video artist slash animator living and working in Chicago. I work with video and photographic media, layering sound and imagery to manipulate and redefine standard expectations and norms of the human experience. Striving towards something other than normal interpretation, I take things apart and restructure them. I work with physical object and mental spaces, often mimicking commerical convention in a crude manner.
