STUDY FOR A NARRATIVE, 2011, GALLERY PIECE (SKY BLUE)
flash movie
"When I was younger, I was very interested in film. At my school the
New Media Lab had its own library. Rolling cabinets held thousands of
video tapes. I imagined how one could make a film using only clips
from these tapes. But when searching for one's perfect sky-blue, how
could one ever find it?"

STUDY FOR A NARRATIVE, 2011, GALLERY PIECE (CHALICE)
flash movie
"Did you know that I too, have been an artist? In the year before I
applied for the National Police Academy, and as I had always been
interested in the Arts, I set up studios in a disused signwriters
shop, with help from my parents. Mind you, I had received no formal
training as an artist. For the first weeks, I was at a loss what to
do. I had bought no equipment or materials, so I had only what was
left in the old signwriters storage. There was a pile of old lumber
in the back, and from that I fashioned a crude stretcher with a
crossbar for strength. An old army blanket I found in a locker served
as a canvas, which I nailed onto the the stretcher. So then I had a
perfectly good canvas, albeit somewhat heavy, quite large, about my
height. A receptacle, I thought. Retracing the production process in
my mind, the construction of the stretchers' crossbar reminding me of
the Cross of the Lord Jezus, the army blanket reminding me of His
Warmth, and the concept of the receptacle reminding me of the Holy
Communion. So, finding a tin of gold paint, I traced a chalice."

STUDY FOR A NARRATIVE, 2011, GALLERY PIECE (ZERKALO)
flash movie
"Some time ago, I visited a friend in the city. We went to a movie
house together, to watch a European film. It was Andrei Tarkovski's
Zer-kalo, a film I know quite well as I did an essay on it when I was
still studying. But I was surprised to discover that I had never
heard the original Russian. I'd watched the film many dozens of
times, and as I was studying, my love for the script, for the images,
and for the music, grew, and grew. But I was loving the German
translation, never knowing my loss."
