about: Breaking Glass is a short video that examines the surfaces of fear and desire, using as its subject my fantasy encounter with David Bowie. Alternating between confession and fantasy, I employ music, animation, and personal narrative to interweave notions of queer affection, pop fandom, and authentic self-doubt. Musical gestures (glam-rock, death-metal, etc.) complement the images and stories of frivolity, worry, and daydreaming. Overall, Breaking Glass is an experiment in autobiographical counterpoint and wish-making.
