All of my video art pieces are flat screen/projector compositions intended for gallery or museum exhibition in the same space as painting, photography, and other traditional media. I work with video, sound, music, photography, film, painting, text – anything digital or that can be digitized. I use video, a time medium, to isolate and explore a subject, event, or moment in time. I often build pieces as time structures referencing strategies and techniques, especially counterpoint, employed in music composition. I derive quite a lot from Edgard Varèse, Pierre Boulez, and, especially, György Ligeti, whose conception of music as frozen time, time “confined in the present moment,” informs virtually all of my work. Among many painters I return again and again to Gerhard Richter, who often bases his work on photographs and other preexisting media, and is a master of both figurative and abstract art.
