The core of the project is a 20-day travelling residency across UK landscapes. I will collect footage & environmental sounds using newly acquired equipment, focusing on natural phenomena such as wind, water & decay. This material will form the basis of experimental compositions & visual sequences in the studio. Seeking to deeply observe & record the healing rhythms & patterns in nature; I’ll examine slowness in order to learn how audiences can slow down their viewing of the work; the impact of biorhythms, sound waves, changeable acoustics in forests, all leading me to understand how interconnectedness transforms our energy. Using anologue films to capture the essence of place and develop films from plants from the surroundings I’m working in.
Earth Dies Screaming
Parched Whispers
Resilliance Resounds
New works created for the sėntinėl show, are based on the landscape and how we are no longer in tune to the vibrations and murmurs of the land and nature around us. For the last few months I have been creating organic films on expired 16mm film and experimenting with sound scapes. Allowing the images to be created organically in a contained chaos, of their own worlds. I have created an installation from stills of the films printed onto cellulose panels suspended for us to walk through and engage with the start and end of life.
Glimpse of Life
Extinction Chorus
Fragile Murmurs
The support DYCP funding offers me a transformative opportunity to consolidate & expand my practice into immersive installation work. It offers the vital space to take risks, explore new mediums & grow artistically without the constraints of market pressures. This is not only about developing skills in sound, film & spatial storytelling, but also about ensuring that this evolving vision is fully realised & shared with audiences that also responds to an escalating need in our society: for sensory connection, healing & belonging.

These were created digitally, printed on to acrylic sheets, then suspended in their own fragility.
