My moving image practice began in 2010 while I was an art student at UCLA, using my car as a device for producing video. By attaching a flip camera to my red Ford Escort in absurd and improvised ways, I transformed routine drives across Los Angeles into loops, creative flow states, and experiments in image-making.
Over the past decade, my work has evolved toward cultural critique, appropriation, and speculative fiction, employing video editing, digital compositing, and visual effects to examine how images circulate and shape contemporary life.
Appropriating media from the early 2000s — like truck commercials and country music videos — I edit out the subjects (trucks and country singers) and focus instead on secondary footage used to enhance narrative and add context to film & video, also known as B-roll.
Country, 2024
Single channel video, 4 minutes
In Country (2024), clips from country music videos are layered and replayed, becoming progressively more pixelated and abstract.
By removing the singers and focusing on what was meant to remain in the background, the work highlights the medium itself and the hyperreality produced by moving images.
Everything But the Truck, 2023
Single channel video with sound, 50 seconds
After moving to Texas, I became fascinated by truck culture as a performance of masculinity, rugged individualism, and American identity. I wondered how these ideals might be constructed and reinforced through truck commercials.
In Everything But the Truck (2023), all images and explicit references to trucks are edited out of a dozen truck commercials.
