I am primarily interested in using video as an expressive medium.  Having worked as a commercial editor, I often find it is often refreshing to utilize video in a manner that runs counter to it’s long-established function as a tool to convey pre-digested information and empty spectacle to a passive audience.  With that in mind, much of my work fully acknowledges and embraces the inherent artifice of the video image in the hopes that this (perhaps counter-intuitively) helps engender a more honest relationship between content producers, audiences and the technology that mediates them.  More recently I have begun experimenting with non-linear compositions and live video mixing as ways to evolve the viewing experience beyond limited running times and attention spans as well as adding an element of real-time improvisation to my work.

On a formal level, my work draws significant inspiration from Impressionist, Cubist, and Abstract Expressionist painting as well as silent film--the aesthetics of which I have found lend themselves well to contemporary reinterpretation and continued exploration within the video medium without having to fall back on retrograde notions of nostalgia for it’s own sake.  I am also heavily influenced by the works of early video artists such as Nam June Paik, Bill Viola and the Vasulkas as well as composer John Cage’s experiments with mathematics and random chance as compositional strategies.  These in addition to more recent styles such as Glitch and Mash-Up art as well as the countless VJs around the world who are currently adding an exciting element of fluidity and constant variation to the video medium have had a profound impact on my work as well.
