About
My film practice focused on the moving image and its relationship to the real world – how the moving image permeates reality and in turn, how the everyday is transformed into narrative fiction. My research interest lies in the processes and methods – both conventional and experimental – involved in narrative filmmaking and how they feed into the above interrogation. Thematically I explore media-saturated, consumer-driven everyday environments, and how they affect human response, notions of identity, behaviour and interaction. I examine collective experiences through moving image content by reinterpretation and appropriation, using narrative and plot as tools. I examine anxieties and desires, reinterpreting scenarios within entertainment, mass media, retail, and domestic life. I work predominately with moving image content through film and installation by re-contextualising narrative for the gallery space or adapting it for the cinema screen.
My work has been screened and exhibited nationally and internationally. It occupies a unique position in that it is moving between gallery practice and conventional narrative filmmaking, disseminated in both contexts.
