4 Givings (2011) “Based on multiples of fours, ‘4 Givings’ moves through the cycle of the day with the central theme of forgiveness, release, renewal, and acceptance. Following an alchemical motif, earth, wind, fire, and water recur and are represented by archetypes and abstractions. Animated on fours, this all 35mm direct on film animation was composited in After Effects.” (CVB)

Friend Film (2006) “This is a eulogy to lost friends, either by death or disassociation. River Phoenix appears as the archetypal figure of my generation. This film lives in a space of a junkies death walk, and their final exit from the earth.’
Hand-painted 35mm original with optical printing are at the source of this work; with a little help from an electric toothbrush and washing machine.” (CVB)
