As an urban dweller, the city was making me sick at heart. So one day I leapt on my bike and discovered the Experimental Farm. There I could watch the duckies and pet the cowies, and wander beneath ancient treeies. The bike ride healed my soul and I was amazed how such a wonderful place could co-exist in such a bleak urban environment. I soon began to think about all the different realities I passed through each day and how the macro view often distanced me from the micro view. I decided to make a video that pulled the viewer screaming into my own personal co-existing worlds of the mental, mechanical, spiritual and natural.
