Reflective Evaluation Working towards a physical exhibition and assessment: From the beginning of MA3, my work moved away from developing video work for a monitor towards developing video work for projectors. Working with projectors has allowed me to develop my work in a more physical way that seems to resonate with what I have been... Continue Reading →

setting out my wares: time to get some bumf ready for our exhibition catalogue. of course its not bumf but actually an important process that involves trying to distill what my work is about. seems easier to write in the first person for my statement but in the third person for my bio ... turns...

moving it on - geometry: i am continuing to work on my still and moving image installation and have spent another few nights this week playing around with how they might sit together. last week i was unhappy with how they sat on top of each other so this week i rearranged the still and...

journey through squaring the heavens landscape & making during lock-down: as a little background to recent making - during lock-down because i was unable to gather new footage in the expansive landscapes that i am normally drawn to, i started to gather some footage from my garden. much has been written as the garden being...

some experiments: am working nights these days as need to do contextual research during the day and the days are too bright for installations anyway. i spent last night setting up my projectors to see how the videos would layer and play on top of each other. each video is the same landscape with varying...
