Between Lips and Lips there are Cities

An abstract film exploring surface, depth and how the past and present exist alongside each other. A woman re-meets a former partner in a city for a day, trying to live the moment while reflecting on what has been preserved and destroyed.

  • I am an artist and set designer using film to explore ideas of surface and boundaries between the internal and external. My current work is driven by an interest in film's materiality, evocation of place and the affective potential of the film image. 

    My wider practice combines animation, performance, drawing, installation and collage. I enjoy bringing together disparate elements and re-figuring them in new contexts, playing with ideas of liveness and the present.
