Synopsis

Body disintegration and distortion becomes metaphor for the breakdown of certainties.

I perform sounds of the body in the process of painting, filming and struggling with the material.

Image and sound collapse and the atmosphere of decay is emphasised by heightened film 'noise', while 'found' sound extends the idea of inseparability between individual and environment.

Synopsis

In the aftermath of a decision impossible to reverse, political debate is submerged in an ambient world of photoshoot, marimba and birdsong.

Synopsis

The poem Kissing in hats is a villanelle, a verse form where the regular repetition of two key lines gives added urgency to what is being said.
The effect is intensified here by double tracking of the speaker's voice, as a moving path scans a drawing of World War Two lovers kissing in hats
before the men must board their train. This is a new version with the text of the poem on screen.

Synopsis

Harmony and chaos meet in a mechanism of rythms and lights. The birth and death of a surreal environment in which familiar game-like rules drive the action's tightly synchronised evolution. A single oscillating dot becomes an abstract musical machine which plays itself using glowing orbs before exploding into particles which collapse together as the cycle completes.

Synopsis

Inside a traditional London eel and pie house, solitary diners meditate upon their steaming dinners, each glimpsing a personal landscape within the food on the plate.

Black White and Green uses a mixture of 'live' action and computer-generated imagery to transform humble food into the terrain of a world in miniature.

Synopsis

A rapid time-lapse journey from the Houses of Parliament to the open sea, offset by David Cunningham's musical score composed from fragments of Margaret Thatcher's Belgrano speech.
