in-between, 2 min, col, 2009

"in-between" uses feet, legs and text to talk about a bi-national relationship. The feet caress each other, and look like puppets performing together in a playful way.

Spam, 2 min, 2008

Even with a filter I manage to get the odd spam, which I find humorous. They are about “desire”, the desire to have something or be a something. This video is composed in the style of a notebook or journal, and attempts to be humorous.

Skating, 4:28, col, 2003

This piece developed from footage of the skater who was elegant as well as clumsy, as well as texts taken from my journals about the confines of the physical body and texts about the space in between being awake and dreaming.

Empty Vessels, 2 min, colour, 2003

Empty Vessels is centred around clothes on a clothesline and turns the act of clothes on the washing line into a sensual experience. The video moves through glimpses of clothes on her washing line. The images of clothes are close-up so that you can see the textures of the clothing. There are stills of pegs, and they act as markers like a silence in sound they’re a resting point. There is a chanting of the text that climaxes at the end of the video.

Outside In 2001 4 min (excerpt)

What is it like being Hepatitis C positive? This simple and succinct introspection was scribed with a rudimentary technology that itself echoes degradation and breakdown. An abstracted and scarred image for the cuts within.
