Wake, Butterfly

Wake, Butterfly is a 16mm film installation depicting my own memories in an attempt to visualise the language of memory and bring the viewer into a dream-like state. 


The work is continually re-iterated by new media and lenses, and every subsequent documentation of the work acts as a re-remembering of the event itself.

  • My work explores areas of  ambiguity, phenomena, intuition & spirituality

     I attempt with my work to present the audience with feeling without reducing it down to its mere meaning. My interest is to visualise the invisible, and to use image making as a way of communicating ideas that traditionally defy representation.

    My process involves acting intuitively and incorporating the mistakes that arise into the piece. This intuitive way of working means that the work often feels as if it creates itself, arising from somewhere else.
