This clip came from an instillation I did this semester. I threw away all the fluff and brought everything down to this clip which I will loop. It is a generic looking church that I have a memory of. My perception of the church and in deed my memory of the churches exterior was altered by the event of my grandfather’s funeral. After carrying the casket up the stairs, there was a shift in my perception of the environment. This animation shows how my memory of the church changed.

This is a study I did using Black and White 35 mm film to create a stop motion animation. I like the result. What do you think?

This is a Rough Edit of my latest work. It is about a man trapped inside his own head by the dissonant truths he is trying to resolve. By seeking resolution he is seeking a way out of his own head.

This is a piece I did a while back that dealt with cognitive dissonance. But it occurs to me now that it is worth revisiting because there is a shift in perspective for the viewer. I think I’ll be redoing this from the ground up to fix some technical issues, its good to look back though.
The viewer approaches the actual birdhouse and looks inside to see the tortured bird lying inside and the video of the action playing on a screen. The viewers preconceived notions of the birdhouse are crushed and they become repulsed by what lies on the inside.

Thanks to SAL for featuring me. Check out myself and all the previous SAL’s featured artists and make sure to follow the SAL so you see other great artists. (BTW, I’m not posing, just got caught at an awkward moment. Haha)
An animated 2 channel video instillation I recently did. A rather generic looking church is seen all around the room, glowing on the scrim hanging in the middle of the room. As the viewers walk around the subject they cross a spot where they block the projection of the church and illuminate a new perspective on the environment. From this one spot in the room, an animated video of the church appears to the viewer.
Our perspectives of our environments are informed by our memories. By placing the viewer in my perspective, their view of the church, which they viewed with their own preconceived notions defined by experiences, was forced to change. Having one location in the room where the viewer can see my perspective of the church emphasized the notion of perspective both metaphorically and physically.

This print was part of a series I did about memory. Most specifically demylineation and its link to Alzheimer’s. I broke printing tradition and made each print in the series different by doing each one a different shade of gray on a grayscale. Hung on a wall as one piece the series fades and the neurons fade into the white sheet of paper.
I gave this one to Clinton Mckay. I owed him something for all the beautiful work I’ve been getting from him.

A beautiful silkscreen my friend Ryan O’Hare (rhinohare.tumblr.com) just gave me, his inspiration was the question “What would Clinton do?” which I think is awesome.
