Artist-in-Residence in Limassol, Cyprus, October-December 2021
I was invited to participate in the first international MeMeraki residency in the fall of 2021, alongside my graduate school peers Maia Ibar and Todd Bienvenu. Also in attendance was Hannah Rowan, and a stellar roster of local artists who also participated in the final show.

Film premiere of “Creation Scenes”
From the artist’s “Lost Tapes” series comes “Creation Scenes,” based on footage misplaced for almost twenty years and recently re-discovered.
Using traditional film techniques like scratching the emulsion with a needle, splicing and taping the film, in combination with newer technology in editing including Ipad drawing and animated Gifs- to create a soft-spoken and evocative short film.
As a young filmmaker in the nineties, the artist would encourage intense performative acts by her friends and lovers in front of VHS and Super 8mm film cameras. Dawn, an ex-girlfriend, and Jesse, the artist’s ex-husband, as an artist in his own right, are subjects in this film.
“Creation Scenes” examines the idea of who is creator and who is the creation: woman birthing man; artist as the hand of ‘God’ -the filmmaker… A meta-narrative of a disembodied artist drawing on himself – as the filmmaker draws on top of him: ”X-ing out her exes’s…”
The film premieres at the Maiden LA Biennial September 1-20 2020.
You can view this film and others by the artist on VIMEO or via the FILM tab above on this website.
