As a person, I believe in living to learn, explore, and enjoy the resources that I have. As an artist, I feel that it is important to bring those values into my work. I love to capture real life rather than the imaginary, which come in various forms, whether it is capturing a real person or event in the form or documentary, or attempting to capture my own real feelings and interests in the form of experimental filmmaking.
As a person I would rather spend my money on experiences and memories rather than plastic toys that will be forgotten the next year. Memories are never forgotten when they are captured on film, whether it is a single moment, or a year's worth of memories in motion.
I love to buy from garage sales, because buying a bike that was loved and has a long history is far more meaningful than a shiny new bike from a factory. In my experimental art, I love to take used objects and forgotten toys and give them a new life of abstraction and meaning through film. While I am far from perfect, I strive to live for the moment, learn everything I can, and reuse what I have to create new and honest work and experiences.
