Film poem created with the wild flowers that grow along the shore of the Laira estuary, the tidal mouth of the River Plym, on the southwest coast of Britain. The petals and leaves stream past as the haunting soundscape ebbs and flows.

Views of a landscape engraved directly into the emulsion of 16mm film leader using the blade of a surgical scalpel. The length of each filmstrip is determined by the distance between points on the artist’s body, such as from fingertip to fingertip between outstretched arms, and bisecting the body along a posterior/anterior axis. During our experience of these moving images, the length of a strip of film becomes a measurement of time as the static marks incised into the black 16mm frames are perceived to be lines of light in motion.

Unknown Woman

A woman’s psychological journey which externalises an inner world filled with suspense and pursuit. Animated ink and wax drawings are inter-cut with pixilated sequences originating from dreams of a woman and a crow. The structured footage is then painted, and edited to a composed soundtrack. – K.P.
