an oldie but a goodie

my modes of film and video production final! My first short video in college!

One inch piece of tubular webbing (2004) featuring Jaro Lepic.... my muse in slacklining. This piece is a meditation on the mediative or recreational practice of slacklining.... the balance between walking on the earth and slightly above in metaphor to a boundary that film must also walk.... and more specifically documentary.

Light Play

playing with cameras and the little light that is allowed to pass through.... exploring a relationship... exploring the woods ....musical accompanyment by kaki king....

Celestial Umbilical Cord

So i've been heavy on intermedia this semester, with more time to explore my identity as an artist, and with concepts that fascinate me. This was my first collaborative installation, with Miriam and Mandy and ocurred in early November. By the end of the night, the whole class was suckling on the flavored water gloves, very fun and vulnerable...

To me, the dank but warm basement was an eerie safe space to be, almost womblike. This center column, didn’t replicate our ideas exactly with the video projection, but the moving blue light contrasted the hot yellow floodlight nicely. My feelings for the installation are of natural energy and healing. The gloves filled with flavored water encourage suckling, a return to an infant state, a return to mother nature, perhaps. There is an intense energy vibrating around the column and while it may not be obvious what it is and why you look at it, I think the room depends on it being there as a nurturing energy.

Undergrad Intermedia Open howse!

Sorry, for my lameness blogosphere. Being an undergrad, free time is of the essence. Videoblogging, unfortunately must come after critical reading and viewing among the other classes.

BUT... intermedia fortunately can be distributed throughout the vlogosphere as you will see here.

an installation from the open house last night at the international building on campus! imagine around 50 artists showing their work in the form of video, installation, sound, and performance all in a crowded space of a few floors! its the craziest party on campus, with free food and live nude. ;)

any who my installation is called Jellied Preserves and mediates on the preservation of time and life, while recognizing that decay can be beautiful as well. here is a short video of the space.

enjoy! comments welcome!
