Through methodologies of video practice, I traverse the complex nuances of contemporary media to consider how the transient value of media may shape its dystopic cultural territory.

Concerned with the more vacuous spaces of media culture, I instigate poetic dialogues with found materials using unsettling strategies of video collage and installation to grapple with the cultural conditions of media impermanence and content culture ambivalence.  

My work is invested in a media history of an anxious capitalist narrative and embraces its ceaseless clutter of discardable media content from analogue and digital technologies. I appropriate materials of image and sound from niche media outlets such as 'how-to' VHS instructionals, community television segments, ASMR bloggers, infomercials and meditation cassettes.

Through the intersection of video, text and screen-space my work employs unsettling video construction and installation strategies that aim to engender uncomfortable environments that shift awkwardly between modes of humour, confrontation and subversion.
