have filmed head shots of me reading my text HOME – slowed and cropped seven stage of grief (read in style of nuclear bomb advice) reading ‘What lies Beneath’ poem by Lucy Green I’m struggling to get circle crop of head and only laugh I had was when circle crop images came up on my […]
Exploring this issue that underlies much of my work and I wondered about the instruction of how to deal with loss – funny how we subscribe to a set of instructions to ensure we are grieving adequately!

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 […]
I wasn’t confident enough initially to apply for this residency but having been encouraged by Andy I thought it would be a great opportunity for me to collaborate with Alyson (BA Hons Music student). Having previously discussed numerous ideas with Alyson, I thought it would motivate us and give us the space to create. Here is our […]
