My Life in Pieces
MY LIFE IN PIECES is a video-cast autobiography in ten minute instalments. Pieces is a rolling story picking up fragments of my life, investigating parts of my body and pieces of my mind to prompt writing in multiple forms. I’ve had the company of Murray Toews (Graphics, animation), Kevin and Caden Nikkel (live film, recording and editing) to provide video accompanying my words for the first three episodes.
MY LIFE IN PIECES is an audio podcast picking up and examining pieces of my life.
MY LIFE IN PIECES is text and image of my life in pieces.
