MA work

My work begins as observation. I start with what I see and reveal its qualities: colour, movement, geometry, proportion. Within animation, I find ways to animate characteristics inherent in the materials used. In Earthbound I play with the idea of natural and man-made landscapes being comparable in scale and emotional resonance. This follows on from a series of live-action films exploring urban landscapes, including a film on a Caracas shanty town (La Cancha, Venice Biennale of Architecture, 2006) and Erith (Prague Biennale, 2005).

I work within multiple disciplines: animation, film, theatre, architecture and temporary installations, such as the Southwark Lido (London Festival of Architecture, 2008) which I created in collaboration with EXYZT.
