They Look Their Best From Above, 2010, UK, 3'00

"My videos are almost like another layer of skin. They are visual representa-tions of whatever is currently irking my mental state be it my want to better un-derstand myself from a biological standing point or my want to predict thefuture. All in a sense encaspulate a form of my identity. In past projects I haveused video as a cathartic medium from which I expell my notions of death, pu-berty and sex."
