There’s something deeply satisfying about watching your own work in motion—seeing fragments of past projects stitched into a rhythm that tells a fuller story. I’ve just updated my video reel, and with it comes a new layer of reflection on the relationship between time-based media and the stillness of stained glass.
Why a Reel?
Video has always been part of my creative vocabulary—both as a way of documenting my work and as a medium in its own right. While stained glass is fixed, light-bound, and spatially rooted, video allows for a different kind of unfolding. It’s movement, sound, and atmosphere rolled into one narrative pulse.
My reel is meant to be more than a highlight reel—it’s a glimpse into a body of work that speaks through mood, texture, and layered meaning. It includes:
- Short excerpts from studio installations
- Moments from collaborative performances
- Time-lapse segments of stained glass creation
- Archival fragments of press and interviews
- Snippets of sound design woven in from my audio experiments
A Visual Language
When putting the reel together, I thought about tempo. How long do we linger on an image? What is the breath of the piece? I edited with the same attention I give to a lead line in stained glass—purposeful, deliberate, flowing. I didn’t want it to feel like a fast scroll through my CV, but rather a quiet invitation into my world.
The footage is intentionally unpolished in places. I kept the grain, the moments of shadow, the bits of audio bleed. To me, those artifacts are part of the work—they carry the marks of process, of something handmade.
Watch It
You can watch the full reel here or find it under the Video tab of this site. Headphones recommended.
As always, I welcome feedback. Whether you’re a collaborator, curator, or someone simply curious about how art lives through multiple forms—thank you for watching, and for witnessing the unfolding of this work.
