an impressionistic montage of stills, projected video, underwater footage and an intimate phone conversation, this deeply personal film was crafted as a gift for my mother, who has struggled all her life with anorexia and bulimia.

this is a series of five pieces in various stages of development, from finished pieces to works in progress to experiments. i strung them together for the purposes of my recent exhibition, 'i am a focusing mechanism,' in trondheim, norway.

One Take New York makes field recordings of bands we love playing a song they love somewhere in New York City – in one take, of course. Inspired by, and contributing to, the incredible series out of Paris, Blogotheque's Un Concert a Emporter, this is the Tumblr site of just our work; dive in!

if no one can prove that tomorrow will come, why is it so hard to live in the moment? while time itself is forged of our own hands and minds, we are equally locked in its grasp. viewed through the lens of new year’s eve 1999, ‘every 10 seconds’ is a meditation on the passage of time through the layering of sounds and images. 

‘techno’ is a poem, an elegy to the landscape of the silicon valley (previously known as the valley of heart's delight) and to its transformation from open space to wasteland over the course of a lifetime.
