New work


I am experimenting by using a combination of photography, video, and collage, to explore themes of myth and fantasy. I am using sequential narrative similar to the language of 1980's video games such as Super Mario Bros and Final Fantasy. Through this self-referential short story format, I animate myself within a constructed landscape to explore identity, memory, and dreams.







I showed some new work in critique yesterday. This is a new step in my art making, seriously departing from my previous line of work (still big images, feyonce, etc.). The interesting thing personally is that a lot of the themes I've previous explored (performance, theatre, story telling) is combining with this new format. What really excited me about this work is that I get to make art about my own experience with video games.
