Reworking the surface of the film my work explores the tension between states of consciousness and unconsciousness. As an experimental filmmaker, I work with abstraction to get in touch with the subliminal feelings and memories buried within us, reworking my findings to ask further questions. Through use of hand processing, optical printing I take these traditional images and alter them as well to create new thoughts and ideas. Manipulations of the actual film, and camera less filmmaking are techniques learned from the Avant-Garde and through juxtaposition I attempt to move forward and push beyond the traditional frame of the camera, and the frame of traditional thought process.
