I settled here in 2002. In 2003 I made my first film, and by the fall of 2005 I had made five. Recently I shot my first music video, but having scored all of my own films in some way they are all musical as well as visual experiences. Again I cast the film, as in the photographs, mostly with women. For me there is an ideal balance found by expressing emotion and sensuality with woman as protagonist, a face that looks out from some aspect of human experience I can never really know, the unknowable part of myself mirrored in the ideal of nature and love and the need to connect with the other

The emotions  expressed are rooted in time. Time that has long gone, time that may one day come to arrive in the form of memory. I love the idea that I can create a past that never was in the eyes of a person I will never know, a suspended world locked in every person, the essence of sensuality.
