2016 – ongoing, digital video, varying length.

Test is a series of digital videos of varying lengths, drawn from an expanding archive of diaristic footage. The work evolves and shifts with each screening, often taking the form of speculative and gestural interrogations of autobiography, surface, and the travelogue. You can watch this on vimeo here.
