Via (2024, 3 mins)
Unknown scenes speed past. Tracks lead to the horizon. But as the journey progresses its straightforward linearity dissipates, locations becoming untethered, movement more sensory. Now travel takes on a transcendent trajectory.
Unfurled Colours (2024, 24 mins)
What defines our sense of being, how is this effected by place and time? Through surveying Victorian collectomania, the transposed and fantastical creatures of south London’s Horniman Museum and Crystal Palace Park, history’s trace and locational belonging are explored. These public collections, which are evidence of Britain’s past, are juxtaposed with an audio journey to the English Jurassic coast, a spoken-word travelogue and personal soundscape that addresses other forms of ‘out-of-placeness’ and discovery. All of which asks where and what is home?

In Plain Sight (2022, 12 mins)
The film is situated in Maryon Park (Charlton, south east London), which also featured in Antonioni’s Blow Up (1966) and this is the film's starting point. The park is a liminal place where the environmental, historical and cultural intersect.

Sunday (2006, 7 mins)

Doorway (2006, 1 mins)
A domestic scene: dark garden, washing blows on a line, television plays inside a house. The sound and image of a detective show inter-cuts with the exterior environment, altering it and bringing violence to the conjoined night.
