Personal Statement
I like to explore the emotional potential of raw sound. I am interested in the meaning it generates when it is separated from its source and transplanted into a new environment. I am fascinated with the power it carries when it is presented as the central element of a piece.
In my installation work, I investigate the use of sound to create 3-dimensional acoustic environments that use space as a dynamic component. I also draw on my background as a filmmaker using video to emphasize sound as a conveyor of meaning.
In a more narrative context, I am interested in the creation of docufiction – a film genre which attempts to capture reality such as it is (as direct cinema or cinéma vérité) and which simultaneously introduces fictional elements.
Thematically, I am attracted in the exploration of personal isolation, the impossibility of communication and the impact that human presence has had, and continues to have, on the environment.
