...You are neither here nor there,
A hurry through which known and strange things pass
As big soft buffetings ...
... catch the heart offguard and blow it open.'
(Seamus Heaney)
   

 

 

home

 

'The sound of the horn in the depths of the wood'
'the image of the distant light'

To capture the fleeting, the ephemeral ...
sealing a moment and making it the object:

vibration frozen into stone...
the trace of a sunrise ...the path of light into a darkened space ...

but also
a memory ... a meeting ... a face

I use photography and drawing, but primarily found and filmed moving images, and sound
to linger on the fleeting moment, to observe ...


I work intuitively and spontaneously, juxtaposing images and sounds to produce a dense filmic texture, a collage...

cinepoems resonant with association and metaphor

The rhythm of doing hands, of scudding clouds, of dripping rain;
the tenacious flicker of a newborn's heartbeat;
the sound of a voice; a glinting black sea ...

... all these become a lens through which to invoke something timeless,
more unsettling,
more hidden ...

an essential reality

the melancholy born of experience
