A direct response to the proliferal in my immediate environment , the underbelly of daily life . . . . . more
My first film InDissent was made during the 2003 anti war march in London. It was about the inside experience, the sense of being in the midst of this mass roar of revolt. It was a partner piece to a book made from film stills, and comment and facts gleaned from the media. The book was designed so you had to ‘walk’ or travel through it. It was about catching a moment in time from a different perspective. After this I made KITCHEN which was an eerie film with a piercing soundtrack by sonic artist Andrew Brown, made from filming still lives in an empty kitchen. Both films were about observing the everyday that we fail to notice, the throwaway of daily life and events. This is an area that continues to interest me and informed other more formal films I have made since. Some of these have been filmed while I was working as a creative practitioner in different settings, others have been commissioned films documenting other artists working on residencies. I have filmed performances and plays. I directed, filmed, edited all these films myself.
NEUF is a video art group of which I am a member. We met on the excellent Experimental Video Art Course, a collaboration between Cambridge Film Consortium, Anglia Ruskin University and Kettles Yard. We, the participants, have meeting monthly for the past 7 years. We crit each others independent films and plan collaborative projects together. These take many different forms. One of our ongoing projects is the At Home series. We make site specific video in response to domestic settings and show in all the rooms in a particular house by invitation only. We are planning At Home 4 for the winter of this year 2014 in London. They are shown as installations and most of our work takes this form rather than films to be screened in cinemas. We have also worked with a dancer Filipa Periera Stubbs, and Triptych who respond with sound live in various venues to our films. After a 3 day residency at Aid & Abet we continue to explore our medium and equipment in different settings. Our second experimental residency took place in February 2014 in the Changing Spaces shop at 10 Green Street Cambridge and in Autumn 2014 at 9 Norfolk Street. Members of Neuf are from a diverse range of backgrounds and have successful practices in other fields also.
I am open to any kind of commissioned work
even if very small, from a promotional film for a charity or a website to acting as an extra camera or eye on larger scale projects. I also offer tuition in video editing.
