Some views prior to any framing might seem compelling at first, but in fact they rely on the surroundings for their effect. Other views become more intense when they're lifted out of their environment by way of the viewfinder, whose very name describes what it does: it finds the view by isolating it into a fresh new context where its merits can shine.

I do not alter the subject of a video in any way, but seek instead to perceive the art that is taking place right before me, requiring only the time to look for it.

As a guiding philosophy I see any art to be a framing of the beings and forces that make up our day to day reality. In order to increase the art that we experience we can cultivate our perception and senses to do what a viewfinder does: whether we highlight words spoken to notice their poetry, follow motions made to see their dance, track details of the day to follow their theatre, or saturate our eyes with forms and colours in order to see the very air as a canvas. Art is all around us, always.
