Pas De Deux Redux
2023, 5min 35sec (silent)
Created to be included in a group exhibition at Central Saint Martins, this piece investigates the film and video archive as an inert body which contains, within its structure and content, the potential for movement. Through a reworking of Norman McLaren's 'Pas De Deux' (1968), the film attempts to initiate a secondary dance partnership between the static environment of the archive's 'body' and the archived material itself, in its return to motion via screening.

Ticket to Sydney

Ticket to Sydney is an audiovisual exploration of a specific incident – the loss of an archive. Through the use of found footage, animation, live action and illustration, this film attempts to visualise and contextualise a formative event in the life of a mostly-forgotten pioneer in British musical history: Basil Kirchin.
