Painting is where the formal language of my moving image work emerges from, full of colour and a compulsion towards sensuous detail. It is a medium that offers my practice materiality and a different time code to that of digital video. I approach the movement of imagery across both media as a form of translation, curious about what details are lost or gain visibility and the different cultural connotations underlined by each medium.

‘F.L.A.G.’ is a single channel video structured as a three part digestive act, placing the body in direct relationship to architecture through moments of ingestion, digestion and excretion. Using a bilingual script to weave in photos from my personal archive documenting family in Mozambique with architectural scale models in the studio. House and body are portrayed as sites of containment inflected by histories of European colonialism. Through surreal acts in ingestion/expulsion the video attempts to address how this history might be digested.
The video was originally exhibited at ‘Cleave’, part of the GI 2018 across the city programme, alongside two sculptures, ‘Shelter (hot blue scream) I & II’.

An exit soft to the touch
ANDOR gallery, 2016
...
Photography:
Tom Carter
‘An exit soft to the touch’ is a looped, hand drawn animation presented as part of a larger installation consisting of altered lighting, sculptural objects, and paintings. The animation depicts an act of defecation, portraying the body as a site of creative potential as well as protest.
The sculptures present buildings as organic, growing structures; buds fertilised by excrement and the subconscious recesses of the human mind. Tapping into the metaphorical and literal readings of faeces - scat, shit, poo - as creative release and fertile soil, a large painting depicts the artist alongside a sprouting plant which doubles into a pictorial shelter.
The gallery’s lighting is altered by an orange tarpaulin covering the skylight, producing a warm tone in the space that shifts in intensity depending on the sunlight. Everything is buried under a lambent glow and left to slowly germinate.
