The film is composed of receding planes in a landscape: a back garden and the houses beyond. The wooden lattice fence, visible in the image, marks the border between enclosed and open, private and public space, and forms both a fulcrum for the work and a formal grid by which the shots are framed and organised.

Series of films produced during an artist’s residency at the Art Gallery of Windsor Ontario and Media City Festival. All the sequences were shot in and around the gallery on colour negative and Agfa B&W sound recording film.All the B&W sequences were hand processed and printed using a Bolex camera as a printer.

Shot during a residency at Media City Film Festival and the Art Gallery of Windsor, "AGW 2nd Floor South" is part of a trilogy of works that use three distinct filmic procedures.

The work confirms, yet again, both Vertov and Kracauer's conviction that film...

That Has Been is the last in a series of longer works made in the first half of the 1980s. The film was shot in two adjacent rooms. Outside views are seen in reflection via an aluminum photographic lamp, while some of the imagery is generated from photographs taken in the same spaces. The occasional voice over explores the relationship between places and dreams and that between memories and the ph...

"Only at First" was shot over several months from the back of my house in Lewes, East Sussex. It records in part the development of a wetland site into a housing development, using a variety of filming strategies including animated permutations of sets of framings, as well as freer sequences that make use of the Bolex camera’s motorised zoom function. A variety of lenses was used, from 10mm wide a...
