narratives
I have been immersed in music, literature and film for most of my life. What I draw from these are the narratives that tell us something about ourselves. Within the narrative, is the interplay between the characters in which a story might develop. The story may not be traditional or told conventionally; it may not unfold chronologically, and it may be as incomplete as one’s own life. Like narrative, we exist before and after the story. The story is merely a glimmer or snapshot of a subjective reality: a shared reality between the artist and the viewer.
Narratives are ever-present. Before filmmaking, I pursued landscape architecture: gleaning narratives from gardens and the built environment. While on a research trip to England and Scotland for a thesis on the poet/gardener Ian Hamilton Finlay, I decided to reconsider film as a medium of narrative exploration and expression. I returned to school and completed a MA in Media Arts at Emerson College in Boston.
Formal literary, filmic or musical narratives begin in observations. From the small everyday details, to the people who transform our lives and the often-unforeseen circumstances that leave us forever changed. Most often we do not recognize the story in the moment. It is only through reflection we make the narrative connection that inform us.
My films are personal reflections on recognitions: always subjective to a particular character, yet still something of our universal selves.
We have seen that moon before, but tonight it has an altogether different meaning.
