Walking the River, 2020
Video Essay, 6 mins 59 secs
The first Lockdown in 2020 hit many of us hard, including me. I spent more than the permitted time in Hembury Woods, near Buckfastleigh, Devon. Walking the woods and the river, they became my solace, my meditation. In these times, I slowed down considerably, noticing the moments between the smallest of things, the minutest of changes through the weeks. This essay articulates this solace, through the liveliness of water.

Flesh [wound]
Under,
Plymouth, 2019
16mm film installation
Flesh [Wound] demands you relate with your body viscerally. It calls you into the present moment through your physical sensations. This 16mm installation aims to subvert the idea that we are purely our mind hitching a ride in the vehicle that is our body, that in fact, our bodies are a pulsing, sensing, intuiting presence that, when we allow ourselves to exist fully in and of our bodies, our experience of life is richer and deeper. The installation further challenges ideas of mental health and suggests that emotional wellbeing is more than just a ‘mental’ issue. This installation celebrates the body, demands we give attention to our bodies, suggests that we are first and foremost the intelligence of our bodies. This installation articulates the wound that our flesh holds as a result of living this disconnected existence.
