Most of my longer films have been based on dreams and have been of a personal semiautobiographical nature Tarp represents my interest in more simplebasic visual themes Color shape and found object filmmaking I began recording all of the tarps in my immediate neighborhood and surrounding cities tarps over cars and boats and campers tarps as tents on trucks and hanging from overpasses on freeways The fragmented result still maintains a dreamlike tone yet speaks about the mysterious way we Americans coverup and protect things and the strange locations in which we do it
