Untitled (Water)
I like the disorientation of taking an experience out of context, abstracting a moment in time, getting lost in the colors and movement. This moment happened while watching the sky on the other side of the screen in a drive through car wash.
Pendulum
The Pendulum video was taken on a residency in France. The countryside was very rocky and I collected a few stones I thought I’d wrap and suspend each one from strings in the studio. I found it more compelling to swing the stone into the wall than hanging them from the ceiling. Swinging a rock into a wall felt satisfying, but also strange, like a pendulum that wasn’t allowed its full rotation.
