Recently, I made a few short video pieces, sketches really, which seemed a bit out of step with most of my recent work. Not having a “natural place”, I decided to host them on youtube and vimeo instead of the usual. But while a service like youtube gives you the opportunity to share videos that is also its limitation; there’s no place for content other than video on youtube. The initial thought of “work that doesn’t quite fit with one’s usual medium, methodology, etc” along with the desire to have a place to house diverse content is what led me to start this site.

While in the process of a working through a project I do many things: read, collect materials, do research, and so on. I often abandon the project leaving both result and process unseen. And while I find publishing or holding on to everything a tad narcissistic, the adverse can be stifling. Without an audience work can become overly insular and antisocial. Without a retrospective eye one can to lose a sense of development and relatedness between works. On the other hand, gathering diverse material within a single chronological narrative (a blog) has its own problems. Why not let that which is outside remain so? But for the time being my concerns are more centered on the former and so here are 3 videos to be followed shortly by a fourth.
