Looking back into my own childhood art, the central motif of most of my drawings was the rainbow, carefully drawn, crayon color upon color. Rainbows glow with innocence, and despite life’s realities, it seemed magical and unreal when drawing these symbols. Each sketch begins with the empty, white, single-channel video screen. Slowly, footage — cut out into recognizable shapes — begins to form landscapes and scenes. Piece by piece, familiar scenes emerge and yet beneath it all, something unpleasant lurks.

In an attempt to escape the realities of life, a child often turns the ordinary into something magical, and the indefinable into something dangerous. Likewise, humans transform their own ordinary desires of procreation and hunger into quests for love and beauty.

These videos are like childhood fairy-tales of humanity’s instincts. The ambivalent narrator lets each story unfold while the repetitive rhythms prepare the viewer for each new development.
