about
Colour, context and the moving image
I am a Brisbane-based emerging colourist and experimental filmmaker.
My colour grading is centred on the short film Solitary and the KPB326 Showcase Group production, where I am credited as colourist. I am building technical experience in narrative post-production, and I am drawn to emotionally motivated visual storytelling.
Alongside that, I make independent experimental work. It lets me explore montage, abstraction, sound-image relationships and cultural recontextualisation.
My philosophy is that images gain new significance when they are rearranged, recoloured or placed in different cultural contexts. Adam Curtis's archival montage and culturally engaged filmmaking has influenced how I think about this. Other interests include surrealism, political and cultural filmmaking, and sound and vision.
Narrative grading asks my choices to stay accountable to character and continuity. Experimental work lets me question the limits of an image. Each practice sharpens the other.
I hope to build a career in professional colour grading, and to move into experimental music videos and VJing, developing visuals for musicians, DJs and interdisciplinary artists. I am early on that path.
