Keyhole – Film tests on Door Knobs
I carried out various tests on which doorknob/material would have the best effect I am looking for. To film a projection which is being projected onto something doesn’t always give the same effect as being there in person! If I were to project from the front of the door then the wax with netting would […]

Salt & Pepper Experiments
I began by using the net curtain. I have experimented with filming through, casting in plaster and casting in wax. By using salt I wanted to see the effects of laying traces of an object – leaving an index of what was there . The effect was quite mesmerising and there was a taste of […]

Bath 281117
exploring within the home the various activities that occur behind closed doors am reminded of being at school – the door in between the girls and boys showers where the girls kept chewed chewing gum on the hole and would then remove it to peep on the boys peepholes, tears and gaps in the […]

Reflection – Faceswaps April
interesting how the selfie culture exploded – people staging and retouching images of self to be beautiful and perfect face swaps – loads of people are doing it yet rarel publicise the images – are they scared what people will think they look like (even though it isn’t really them)? not being brave to destroy […]
My zip
I remember being about 8 years old, probably still holding onto puppy chubbiness . Mum was trying to put some second hand navy cord trouser on me. the zip was quite stiff – juddering and sticking as mum tried to zip them up on me the zip loosens, but the motion of pulling it up […]
Thoughts on memories and death
things, objeects, memories – we try to immortalise them try to gloss thema nd coat them with fondness but when the memories are destroyed by an act or a death, the memories are tarnished yet by death we try to make an idol of someone, only telling the good stories/memories gift wrapping each moment and […]
