I am an artist and educator working primarily in film, video, and expanded cinematic forms. I live and work in Dallas, Texas.

My recent work has moved toward two not-completely separate points of focus: essayistic works in film and video that mine accumulations of meaning attached to objects, sites, and experiences; and performative works that initiate hybrid situations where an act of interpretation occurs between technologies to question the evolving understanding of cinematic reception.

I show my work in Dallas with Oliver Francis Gallery.
I am a member of S.C.A.B., a collective of artists who run alternative spaces. I'm in the process of moving, but will anounce plans for a new domestic exhibition space soon. I am also a programmer of experimental video at Dallas VideoFest.
