Artist Statement: 

I am an experimental filmmaker based in Vancouver, B.C. I have made a number of short films focusing on the existential connections between inner hidden worlds and physical environments. These works often explore the role image making technologies play in defining, changing and shaping our experience. I am currently working on an immersive installation about one of the worlds rarest ecosystems, the oak meadows of southwestern BC, and the deep interconnections between plants, animals, and people.
