PETIT PEREGRINAGE
An adventure involving a few tarot cards.
LOST
There are many ways one can feel lost
COAL TRAIN
CROWD CONTROL
CONFLATION: AIR & WATER
I’ve long been fascinated by the fluidity and anthropomorphism of those floppy guys, or ‘inflatable tube men’, as they are called. Here their motion is amplified.
QUARANTINE TIME: MEMORIES DREAMS REFLECTIONS
The title is explanatory
UNDERSTORY
An homage to our forests as manifestations of human caused deforestation and escalating climate change are increasingly more dire.
OCEANS AWASH
Single-use plastic pollution in the environment is a growing problem, especially in the oceans. Plastic-derived chemicals become more concentrated as animals eat other animals, and so ultimately these toxins reach the top of the food chain.
FLOAT
It’s endlessly mesmerizing to watch all the varied species of Coelentera
HIPPOS
The 45 year old hippo, Water Lily, had to be euthanized in April 2024 due to cancer. The Woodland Park Zoo plans to move Lupe, the younger hippo, to another zoo to be with other hippos. This sad loss wasn’t foreseen when I shot the footage the previous October.
VERTIGINOUS
Vertigo can seem mysterious to anyone unaffected, and perhaps lead one to imagine the ensuing visual aspects, as this film does. The voice over speaks from experience.
MAYBE
GAME PLAN
Urban/industrial growth re-imagined with vintage game boards.
BENIGN DISTOPIA
Collaged scenarios composed exclusively on iphone5 of imagined impending disaster, denigration or otherwise unfortunate circumstance.
AN OMINOUS OCTOBER
As issues evolved after the 2016 election, world events of autumn 2017 became quite frightening. This film reflects that time, and remains relevant today.
BEDLAMY
Possible phases of a relationship…
TAKEN
In many cases, taking is due to need. In some other cases, it’s out of greed.
UNBEING
An old camcorder happened to be at hand when I found this dying bee on a windowsill. It struggled for an hour before expiring.
SPIN CYCLE
Conflation of leisure and labor, courtesy of archival footage and a windup toy.
SEALIFE
2004 Florida footage from an old digital point & shoot and 2008 background footage edited together in 2012.
