Samplings of the Magna Mater
Digital Video, 2007 "Samplings
of the Magna Mater" is a concept video that consists of 125
back-to-back stills, each exactly two-seconds in length. Each
still is a unique, solid color panel. The color in each panel was
sampled from various photos 'of/from/pertaining to' the earth.
Photo subjects from which the color samples were selected include:
satellite images of the planet earth, Siberian terrain, Iceland,
Alaska, Kenya, flower gardens on Vancouver Island, Bermuda, rivers, red
and gray/blue clay, soil, dirt, rain forest, sunset, The World Islands
(Dubai), Honduras, foliage, etc... This video honors the purity
and beauty in the range of hues that mother earth miraculously bestows
on humanity's visual pallet. |

Gallery: Bush Protest in Louisville, KY
Digital Photography, 2006 The photos in this gallery were taken at a George W. Bush protest in downtown Louisville next to the Kentucky International Convention Center. Honestly, I can't remember if this protest took place in late 2005 or early 2006. If you happen to know the date of this event, please send me an email! |

Destroyed in the Fire. Gallery: Junk Mail Intervention, Gallery 1 Junk Mail Intervention, 2005 - Present 1. Tear junk mail up into pieces after receiving it. 2. Stuff the torn up junk mail into the "postage paid" return envelope. 3. Decorate the return envelope with drawings and messages. 4. Place parcel in mailbox so it will be returned to the company, at their expense. Tip: Stuff the envelope with as much paper as possible to increase the parcel's overall weight. This tactic further increases the postage expense levied on the consumptive junkmailing corporation. |

Video Gallery: Experimental Video
4-Channel Video Installation, February 2003 In 2003, I began experimenting with video as a meduim. I didn't have access to a camera, and was fascinated with vintage footage I kept finding in online archives. At the same time, I had recently discovered and started working with VJ software. To further my pursuit in new media, I had a computer custom built in January 2003. These videos are a combination of experimentation with recycled footage and VJ software. This project was created for as a 4-channel video installation in 2003 that was part of a group show at the LAVA House. The event was called "Love and War". |
Better quality videos to be added soon. |
Video Gallery: Destruction of Nature
2-Channel Video Installation, 2003 This project was created for an environmentally themed show at The Kentucky Theater called "Destruction of Nature: Beauty vs. The Beast". These two videos were created using vintage footage. The intention was to juxtapose A) humanity's systematic destruction of nature and living things with B) older images of timeless natural beauty that are being reduced to 'captured moments' in history. |
Better quality videos to be added soon. |
