Rooted in an early fascination with expanded cinema, my work explores how lens-based practice can move beyond the screen.
Working across film, installation and visual arts, my early work included abstract animations projected across the electric windows of Lux Gallery and into Hoxton Square, London.
This enquiry developed into The Long Walk, a seven-and-a-half-hour continuous film made while walking with local women in the Nuba Mountains, Sudan. Conceived through bodily immersion rather than observation, the work retains the full duration of the walk and has been exhibited internationally in public spaces, including Trafalgar Square, Grand Central Station, the UN Building in Brussels, Union Station in Washington DC, the Eden Project and Glastonbury Festival in the UK, and finally at the Cathedral of St John the Divine, New York.
Subsequent works, including To Begin, continue to centre women’s voices, labour and shared presence. Filmed in southern Ethiopia, the work was exhibited simultaneously across five UK city centres, supported by WaterAid and the BBC.
I maintain a parallel visual arts practice in photography, drawing and painting rooted in observation and atmosphere using material experimentation - and make creative short commissioned films.
I have over 25 years’ experience in documentary and factual broadcast television, delivering hundreds of hours of content for the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5, Sky, Discovery and National Geographic, with a focus on high-impact factual and current affairs. I currently spend half my time as Joint Head of Production at female led multi award-winning Candour Productions based in Leeds, West Yorkshire.
