My work is materialized through "affective collaging", in that it is often concerned with the deconstruction and re-assemblage of archival objects and documents, found footage and dialogue, cinema, composition and field recording. My intent is to uncover different manifestations of emotion in time and space. I consider the spirit of my practice to be raw and "DIY"; in that I prefer utility to operate in unorthodox and spontaneous ways while building narratives of history and memory (fictional and actual).

My proposed image is a composite of stills in tandem with two-channel audio extracted from an existing video piece titled "Coordinates: (32.9314N, 117.2603W)", (of which running time is 4:11). The video and elements of audio were culled from the environment at Torrey Pines State Beach (the title of the piece in reference to the specific coordinates). The text is sourced, processed and re-constructed from dialogue within Ingmar Bergman's film "Persona" (1966).

Through investigating Bergman's affective elements through the texture and gradient of my surroundings, I channelled the Pacific Ocean and the timbre of the female voice in order to architect an ethereally nightmarish landscape resonant to that of "Persona", laden with themes related to identity, paranoia and language.
