Statement

I was a kid in the 80’s.  My dad would let me stay up late to watch pulpy sci-fi like Logan’s Run and Doctor Who. It made me feel special because my brothers were fast asleep while I enjoyed the company of my dad who spent most of his time working.  One of my earliest, clear memories was watching a VHS copy of David Lynch’s Dune.  I can remember seeing Herbert’s paperback version in my dad’s overfilled library, snatching it, and reading it cover-to-cover over the course of two days.  At a tender age when my friends were playing in the mud with GI Joes, I was folding space on a Guild Highliner:  The sleeper had awakened.

 

Purpose

I imagine worlds that I try to bring into reality through writing, sculpture, painting, drawing, teaching, photography, and film.  Using fiction in design is a way for me to share my vision of the future with others.  The storytellers are the shapers of reality; I try to add my two cents. Lynch, Kubrick, Clarke, Heinlein, Herbert, Dali, and Bucky Fuller are among those who have inspired my work.

 

Projects

As a graduate student, I’m researching film and video production.  In addition to  making my own narrative sf films, I work on promotional videos for local non-profits, governmental organizations, and schools.  For me, it’s all about merging art and craft.
