I am a writer, photographer, and filmmaker based in Brooklyn, NY. My artistic practice consists primarily of experimental films and audiovisual installations, stemming from my parallel interests in folklore and expanded cinema. My vision has been shaped by studies in anthropology (BA, University of Washington) and film (MFA, Emerson College), with emphases on analog film, experimental media, and ethnography. Working with 16mm, I explore the body and all the ways it can mutate, deviate, and, ultimately, fail. I use portraiture, still lives, abstract textures, and the natural world to portray my relationship with death, illness, and spirituality.
