Time, history and landscape, these themes fuel my research-based practice, which encompass my work as a filmmaker and curator.  I use the lyrical essay as a foundation for exploring my affinity for photographic processes, amateur film, the personal archive and the history of the cinematic apparatus. My research and creative practice has come to include vernacular film alongside personal narratives, regional archives, and voices of underrepresented histories.  I am interested in using experimental film to expand documentary modalities, to create people’s history,  and inspire citizens to participate in shaping future trends in cultural representation.
