In my current body of work I use film and video stills from old home movies and documentaries found online, which I then alter with paint, sanding and artists pens and set in a circular format. I think of this mixed media work as a lense into a world of forgotten moments and alternate realities - sometimes heterotopic in nature (a parallel space of otherness), and other times simply nostalgic. The images are dream-like, with double lines, moire patterns, pixelation and the subtle blurriness that comes with digital/analog layering. These hazy screen grabs are worked over until the ideal mood is created. This process of working is similar in the way a person feels their way through thoughts and memories, altering them in a unique way each time the thought occurs.Â
