He/Him. I incorporate video and sculpture to produce immersive installations. I often build miniature sets and place actors into them digitally. These sets can sometimes double as sculptural works. Many of my props cross the boundary between video and installation, and thus, link the real and imaginary. The environments I create are dystopian projections of the world from my childhood memories – archaic machines without purpose and vast concrete factory-scapes fill the world.
