ARTIST STATEMENT,


 My video work examines the specific, frustrated anger I experienced being brought up a Catholic.  When my mother and I were eventually labeled "sinners" for belonging to a single-parent household, I compared my own existence with the Church's unattainable idealism, although not all work is related to religion, many are tied in with the same hypocrisies. In reaction to this isolating experience, my interest in visual art lies within the exact opposite of the ideal: the human.  My interest in the figure centers on depicting a person’s entire being, the scars, the decisions, the people; I strive to depict an adept insight into a person’s psyche, not through realism or practicalities, but rather by following the path of experience and the immediate environment.  Hatching, anxious marks drive the surface of my drawings, giving form to otherwise ephemeral emotions and psychological states. 
FFFFIIIIINNNNNAAAAAALLLLL!!!!!!!!

Ideas for Stop Motion


- Mechanical Fish, a fish is found washed ashore dead is picked up by a passerby and repaired with mechanical parts, microchips and such.

- The Cage, a man awakes in a cage and finds himself surrounded by other species from other worlds.

- Two Halves, a man walks along a sidewalk and turns to watch a girl walk away... his torso falls off while his legs continue. The rest of the short is the torso trying to catch up to his legs.

- Box Man, a man has too much on his mind, and finds a quicker solution to relieving himself.

- Experimental Clay, a animation in which I can just experiment with the way that clay moves and reacts to different scenarios, materials.

The Box That Weighed Too Much.

  A character who has lived his life as a Large Box Head, a weight unbearable by most. One day he realizes his weight is not obligatory but rather his choice and becomes a Small Box Head.
