ARTIST STATEMENT
Always creating, in progress.
I need purpose, as many of us do. I desire a need to contribute, to understand and to grow in order to feel a sense of worth in creation. Documentary, Teaching and Community development all fulfill this need for me in different but similar ways. I have found myself weaving in and out of all of these fields throughout my career and constantly exploring the areas where they intersect.
I strive to be invisible in the outcome of my work. If done well, if done right, I can extract myself and what is left will remain, whether that be in a film, a classroom or the community.
Constantly making myself vulnerable to critique and listening to how to achieve understanding in a non-destructive way is always in the forefront of my mind and work.
