I worked with a group of 4 other local women to produce the film We Have Nothing but Each Other about the Environment and the City of Wells in early 2023. The film is available to view on the Somerset Film You Tube channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8DVnJe-1AU (copy and paste into your browser) and Commended at the Frome International Climate Film Festival

Made as part of Somerset Arts Festival 2022 the film considers the meaning of the Festival's theme of Sanctuary in text and visual image with a mediative sound screening. A short section of the improvisation is available on vimeo.https://vimeo.com/754619626

Time and Place was filmed in 2021 as part of a rural community project to document experiences of Covid and lockdown.

Last Days 2020 An interface that doesn’t “fit” between the natural world, and man’s scientific theories - the inexplicable and unaligned. Interpretations stumbled across. Nostalgia interwoven, personal memories dementia.

Commenting on the role of Folk music, the female voice and nostalgia to manipulate emotions were a recurring theme in my work post lockdown

The strangeness of the landscape and the military waters of Trident

Land - it’s ownership and relationship to the pastoral idyll

A certain disjunction and disconnection of sound and place ranging from Greenham Common to a festival in Somerset to a Greek Island in this film made whilst a fine art student.

Rural and folk traditions set in contemporary social contexts are a continuing theme in my work. this was an undergraduate project.

Filmed in Scotland at various sites of War memorials and at Hacker Green (the site where Thatcher’s command to sink the Belgrano was sent from) the film visits sites of Dark Tourism alongside Adam Ant’s lyrics. Ideally viewed as a 3 screen installation.
