About
I am an artist filmmaker working as a Lecturer and tutor on the BA (Hons) Filmmaking course at the Department of Film and Photography. I teach mostly Creative Documentary, Hybrid Short forms and Experimental Film across the first and second years of BA Filmmaking practice Modules, with particular emphasis on Research, Idea Development, and Modalities of Edit.
Films I make expand to a degree of mischief where my lens view produces a hyper-personalised impression where subject/object/landscape filmed reconstruct modalities of perception within precise parameters dictated by the duration, moment in time and that singular act of pointing a camera at something or someone. How I look at things dictates this ‘gleaning' for subjects to film. Insular and mundane expose unrevealed rhythms and tell tales of disconnected visual impressions and auditory streaks. I document fleeting moments, the secret life of objects and gem-like impressions of uninviting and overlooked. Through an act of filming, the information is looped back, and spellbinding impressions of the physical reality of places challenge the direction of the flow between the perceiver and the perceived.
