Artistic Statement.
Creating from the untamable, emotive, symbolic + liminal is the only time I feel completely at home in myself. Some people call this space the wilderness within, and I consider embracing it an essential element of a well lived life.
Although filmmaking is my primary discipline, I maintain medium fluidity because every expressive outlet has a unique ability to illuminate what naturally arises, while allowing me to acknowledge the basic truth of impermanence.
The universe is complex!
Life is neither clear nor concise.
I believe in contributing work that encapsulates what is unfathomable + mysterious in order to cultivate a full spectrum of meaning and connection.
To look deep into the eye of being, and confidently hold my gaze.
As I've matured I've learned to move with the tides that shake or lull me. In and out, introverted/extroverted, contemplative/silly, serious/wild, sweet/fierce, wise/fool and everything in between. I actively choose to dance with reality… moving together, dipping, twisting... sometimes leading, sometimes surrendering, sometimes falling apart.
So within that, I seek the story that drips through, the visual that vibrates, and the tiniest shoulder shrug that speaks volumes but nobody else noticed... With the hopes of formulating whatever is the most honest translation... and to try my best at revealing the blurred expanse where the infinite meets the finite, and is not afraid.
So in alignment with awe + impermanence, my artistic statement itself is made of sand. Designed to be built, broken down, composted, and rebuilt over and over throughout my life.
My work will forever change with the moon, with the seasons, with the tides... just like everyone and everything we know.
I hope we will each be moved to awe by whatever unfolds in our hearts, for as long as we all shall live.
