Rooted in an early fascination with expanded cinema, I have long explored how lens-based work can inhabit space beyond the screen. Early projects included abstract animations projected across the electric windows of Lux Gallery and out into Hoxton Square, London (2000).

This enquiry later evolved into The Long Walk (2006), a seven-and-a-half-hour continuous film made while walking with local women in the Nuba Mountains, Sudan. The work was conceived through bodily immersion rather than observation, retaining the full duration of the walk. It was exhibited in its entirety in public spaces internationally over five years, including Trafalgar Square in London, the UN Building in Brussels, Grand Central Station in New York, the Eden Project in Cornwall, Glastonbury Music Festival, and finally at the Cathedral of St John the Divine in New York (2012).

Subsequent work continued to explore rhythm, collective experience, and sustained attention. To Begin (2009), a film made in southern Ethiopia, centres women’s voices and collective labour and was exhibited simultaneously on large screens in five UK city centres, supported by WaterAid and the BBC.

Alongside my moving-image work, I maintain a parallel practice in photography and painting where my ongoing interest lies in process and form. These works often emerge through material experimentation and sustained engagement with landscape, weather, and atmosphere, allowing time, touch, and accumulation to shape the image.

I have taught animation at Bedford College of Art, and documentary production at Leeds Beckett University and Leeds Trinity University.

I also produce short films for artists, museums, and small business clients, and bring over twenty years’ experience working in documentary and factual broadcasting. My work across all contexts is underpinned by ethical, attentive approaches to people and place.

My most recent private commission is Hands of We Will Sing, 15-minute observational film made for Ann Hamilton and exhibited alongside her major UK installation We Will Sing, presented across the three roof spaces of Salts Mill from May to November 2025 as part of Bradford 2025, supported by Arts Council England.
