All of my life I’ve had dreams of floating through clouds of light and color spreading out infinitely in all directions. These dream states have always felt very familiar, even natural. In trying to make sense of these I have always wondered if what I was experiencing during sleep was a kind of “return to forever”. Were these dream-scapes presenting themselves to me actually representative of my origin? of the origin of all things? These works exist as an effort to understand these experiences as I have witnessed. I use abstraction in still and video form to convey these experiences and to explore not only our origin as human beings but also the origin of all things as we have come to know.

This avant garde video is meant to be an experience. It is heavily audio dependent. The images created in a make-shift experimental kitchen laboratory with solids, liquids and gases, of varying temperatures and mixtures. Viewing this in full screen and with headphones is suggested for best effect.
These photos below show other examples of abstraction not directly related to the above "YLEM" project.
