I edit ‘in-camera’, usually shooting a single take, linking the time of the making to that of the viewing. They present a piece of displaced time. Where and how they are shown is important, they are not shown online or in showreels but presented as ‘objects’ in galleries or looped as installations in cinemas. The films could be seen as re-stagings of images I have created or ‘found’. A picture of a child playing chess, a physicist’s descriptive gesture during a lecture, an animator working on a model. Language is important. Film titles operate as non sequiturs, and as much as possible the films are not mediated by words such as statements or contextualising essays. The ambiguities that arise from this absence of words are productive. The works rely on images to communicate. A film of hands making subtle movements, or a girl's eyes as she plans her next chess move present thought processes hopefully reciprocated by the viewer.

....a drawing of a sentence by my daughter, Neave, when she was 5
“a block of text that she drew, and which she called at the time, with an ontological precocity destined to be replaced soon enough with other ways of seeing reality, “a drawing of a big sentence”.”
