Structured around the recollection of a premonitory dream, fragmented memories from the period leading up to the death of my mother were projected on to natural textures and surfaces, re-photographed, composited and processed until the memories became abstracted representations of the evolution, degradation and disintegration of memory and the physical self. "Echoes" was shot in Iceland in 2011 during núna (now)’s 5th anniversary programming in Reykjavík.

During the second week of the festival, Ghost Twin, my electronic music project with my wife Karen will also perform alongside Slattern and Dj Flugvél Og Geimskip (Airplane & Spaceship) of Iceland, at the Good Will Social Club on Friday, April 24, 2015 at 10pm. More details on núna (now)'s website.
