    I am not interested in following a linear narrative or creating a visual representation of a narrative.  I am more interested in using the bits and pieces of a narrative as triggers to explore memory, history, and trauma. I'm not exploring trauma per say, it is more how one remembers traumatic events: the sublimation that occurs and how memory and time become malleable materials. My work consists of video and until recently small objects that are related to the videos.  The content is a combination of my emotional and cultural history, as well as my interest in time, memory, loss and how it all manifests in narrative and images.
