My work focuses on color and collage, energy and rhythm. The videos that I create are hybrids of the world around me and the worlds inside my head. I'm interested in examining current events and places but through a lens that distorts them to reveal some unseen quality. Makeup, costume and performance all become part of the vocabulary that composes the final pieces. Once a film is finished, it is then remixed live to create new variations.
I have also started to take my new video work and expand it to drawings and collages. These are pieces that I create to help develop the video ideas. They also come from a desire to hold the pieces in my hands. This blog was created as a way of sharing my latest work and thoughts about these experiments.
I create work as Bec Stupak, but always include Honeygun Labs as a way to represent the group effort that goes into making any of the pieces. Often the work is a collaboration between myself and friends who inspire me, either through their being or through direct participation. Many of them are listed below.
