Inspiration

Some art historians have suggested that the history of painting finds its fulfillment in film, video, and the moving image. I am not sure I would go that far, but there is no question that moving pictures possess an extraordinary power.

​

Film, commercials, political advertising, documentaries, even something as personal as a wedding video, demonstrate how effectively moving images can shape emotion, preserve moments, and communicate ideas.

​

Movement, sound, time, gesture, and sequence allow film and video to create experiences that a static two-dimensional image cannot reproduce in quite the same way. That difference is what continues to interest me about the medium.

Selected Works

Relume

Relume follows a man struggling with spiritual disquiet and emotional barrenness as he sets out alone on an uncertain journey.

Along the way, he is confronted by memories, images, and physical obstacles that seem to mirror his inner condition. The landscape becomes both inviting and threatening, meditative and unsettling—less a backdrop than a reflection of his spiritual and emotional unrest.

As the journey progresses, the distinction between the physical and the interior begins to dissolve. Each step forward becomes part of a deeper movement inward.

Ultimately, Relume is a meditation on solitude, memory, struggle, and the possibility that moving further into the unknown may also bring us closer to God—and to ourselves.
