My "Reflection" work is a reaction to a career of manipulating images and sounds. After struggling to find a way to create truly unique video art, I went to see a film by a director whose work I had previously found difficult to follow. I noticed sitting down the row was a painter I admired. At that moment I made a conscious choice to watch the film as a painting. It was an amazing experience, filled with meaning and metaphor. Realizing what an effect one's frame of mind has on how the human brain processes information. I ran home, pulled a painting out of a frame on my wall and mounted the monitor to the frame.
