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’.

A suite of three looped videos titled ‘We are a city! I, II & III’ depict basic cardboard model houses, based on self builds from the global south, wavy with the heat of a glaring sun. They create a new temperature for the room which is echoed by the intense hues of the paintings, sculptural tableaux and arched plaster cast shading a strip of pale skin on a mat beneath it.
Recurring motifs, including architectural arches and pictorially schematised plants, move across media as if in translation. This linguistic element is picked up by two publications displayed within ‘Vitrine (womb)’ that narrate fragments from the life of the fictitious character ‘Macy Dott’. They centre female narrative as an approach to the other works and link the female body, as producer and subject, to architecture.
