Working the mythic imagination, updating traditional myth, opening doors to new landscapes.

Humans make violence and peace. The peculiar knot of human imagination making a ‘hell of heaven, a heaven of hell’.
What stories do we make of this? How do we make these stories?

Some videos serve to listen to the particular difficulties of a place or larger cultural event.
Some works are maps of imaginary journeys or hallucinatory visions.

Animation - the poetic language of the imagination. Harnessing decay and accident in digital media.
Images, movie files ~ packets of data ~ translated and re-translated memory.
The process metaphorical of mental cognition, perception, projection.
