About<br />
Primarily working with film and installation, my work explores<br />
the intimate relationships people create to a place or a<br />
moment in time. I am fascinated with nature and how the<br />
earth talks to itself, specifically through movement and I<br />
find that through film I am able to translate this movement<br />
into a new visual language. Using memory as a guide for<br />
communication, I use themes of fragmentation, exaggeration<br />
and inaccuracy to manipulate perspectives by adopting<br />
slow cinema as an instrument to create space for thought.<br />
A sincere account of a moment that may have never existed.<br />
Idling in Nature<br />
I arrived at <strong>Arteles</strong> with an extremely open mind on where<br />
the month would lead me. It scared me to have no plan, yet I<br />
understood the importance of the process. I took immediate<br />
inspiration from my surroundings. June felt like a leap from<br />
spring to summer and with every walk through the fields<br />
and forests there was something new in bloom. Everything<br />
changed as seamlessly as breathing, fascinated by natures<br />
pace of change I found myself taking the same routes daily<br />
to observe every even the smallest of shifts in scenery. With<br />
the repetition of my own movement came repetition in my<br />
work as I began to explore through printmaking, in both lino<br />
and with found objects I filled up pages with similar prints,<br />
only differing in the details caused through pressure and the<br />
amount of ink I used. The rhythmic motion of printmaking<br />
provided me with mental clarity and an unspeakable calm.<br />
Alongside my prints I explored ideas through moving image<br />
and merged poetry with film. Slowness became a theme<br />
throughout as I worked to capture the dreamy qualities of an<br />
idle landscape. Disconnecting from the outside world gave<br />
me space to reflect and be present, a chance to understand<br />
what I was actually distracting myself from. Overall it was<br />
an incredible experience shared with truly inspiring people,<br />
filled with lots of laughing, cooking and exploring!
