Video

I began working in film and video as an undergraduate at CalArts in the 1970s, studying with Linda Benglis and Laurie Anderson, carrying a fifty-pound Portapak on my back to record the world as it unfolded. In graduate school at Rutgers University, working with Martha Rosler, I gravitated toward 8mm film for its raw, intimate, and poetic qualities. While access to film processing has since shifted my practice toward phone video, the impulse remains the same.

Video is a moving medium that completes what my installations cannot fully hold—time, gesture, breath, and the body in motion. It allows process, labor, and lived experience to remain present rather than resolved. Sometimes film enters my installations; other times it stands alone. I use video to tell stories-imagined and abstracted other times of real people, genuine encounters, and material transformation—seeking resonance—an experience that lingers, unsettles, and stays impacting those who witness the work.
