TECTUM ARGENTI, 2022, 9 MINS, 16MM FILM: DIGITISED

Commissioned by Loose Screw Film Festival, 2022. A moving meditation on reconnecting with the self in nature: shot, hand-processed and edited on 16mm film. Internal and external landscapes intertwine in an assemblage of fractured but interconnected poetic gestures, multiple exposures, textural images, and abstract marks made onto the surface of the film, evoking a difficult (but at times euphoric) journey of coming out and healing from the past.

Collaborative double channel 16mm film with Lucy Bergman shot on location in Warwick - the halfway point between the two filmmakers’ birthplaces.

RUSHES (2023) 16MM FILM: DIGITISED

Collaborative film made with Lucy Bergman on the Isle of Tiree, Scotland, which explores the idea of ‘rushes’: firstly as living subjects in the film, bending to the continuous, relentless winds coming in from the Atlantic Ocean, and secondly in relation to filmmaking practice: ‘rushes’ as a body of raw material that can be assembled into multiple, perhaps infinite iterations.
