Welcome to my site, it is a work in progress (wysisowyg); I am learning as I go...
If you've got an interesting story to tell in an interesting way I'd like to work with you.
Though
my background is cinematography and screen writing; I am interested in
interactive narrative, and how technology applies to visual language.
The
history of film shows the artists’ willingness to engage with emerging
technology evident in the works of the early practitioners such as Vertov , and the Lumieres who
display a fascination with the camera as a mechanized tool, as well as
the editing process. I see this curiosity continuing today through
artists like Jill Magid, Bromberg & Chanarin, in the more ‘commercial’ venue of new media, in form of podcasts such as Cool Hunting; not to mention the evolving format of the video game.
Multimedia and visual narrative are vectors of creativity and
innovation, a platform for cultural dialogue. I believe that direct,
open, honest communication is a necessity in any collaborative
environment when faced with limited time and resources.
I am a recent graduate of the Centre for Digital Media
attending their Master's in Digital Media Program. During my time there
I noticed as we have become more immersed in digital culture
there is a need to define oneself in an increasingly 'binary' way. Even
those of us that dabble in many forms of expression find it necessary to
pick a 'brand' for oneself- and so, if I'm to pick one I'd say I'm a
multi-media multi-disciplinarian. I have grown up writing and making
mixed media collage (pastel, watercolour, paper, etc.), got into digital
collage in high school, and have carried a camera around throughout. I
think the traditional arts and ways of telling
stories are every bit as important today as they were when our ancestors
relied on story and images to teach and carry on their history.
All
the photographs you see on this site are original works- let me know if
you want prints.
THANK YOU for stopping by |
