As an undergraduate I was hit by a car and suffered a long period of anterograde amnesia. I couldn't form new memories and spent my day trying to understand where I was, how I got there, and where I was going. My goal with this editing strategy is to replicate that experience.

This music video follows the course of the day, from night, to day and again to night. The process of the song's recording is a lot like the idea of the song itself. Imperfection, being unsure of oneself, random inspiration, the extremes of a nice acoustic layered with slightly out of tune electric, too much going on from too many different players and sounds, all swept up and lost in a river subtly screaming impermanence.

When brainstorming themes and ideas for my project, I continually found myself returning to my passion (nature) and my talents (visual arts). I decided it would be best to showcase my skills through work I had done. I compiled my work into a video resume that displayed what I was capable of, while providing a voiceover narrative detailing both where I came from and where I'm going.

This short video plays with the idea of the “uncanny,” a concept originally laid out by Sigmund Freud in his eponymous essay of 1919.  The German word for uncanny (unheimlich) is, he tells us, the opposite of the familiar or “belong[ing] to the home” (heimlich) and this music video of sorts thinks with this idea in its literal form—a house. We are invited into a doll’s house in which things and people are concealed and the inanimate and animate switch roles.
