This is a puppet show, including original poetry, produced by students of Uplands School about how to stay safe when out in the community.
'Art in situ'
Although my these pieces of my art were not made for these particular places, I have curated them into rooms which seem to suit them.
The Platform Project
Editing a video of existing footage to highlight the good work being done by this young person initiative centred company.
'...and you are?'
This was the start of a long and beautiful collaboration with the dance company 'Swerve'. Where by I became their resident photographer, filmmaker and occasionally costume designer and body paint artist. This was our first ever film together. The spoken word compilation was the hardest edit I've ever done, but I love the results. This film has been shown in theatres and at 'The Big Chill' festival.
Mind - The Donkey
This is a film doodle that was invited into the Swindon Film Festival in 2019. A lovely little film about self discovery that seemed to make itself around Christmas time, hence why I had a little donkey near by.
Rely on You
A commissioned piece by a former dancer who wanted to get back to her roots and start expressing herself again by making her own music video.
Archibald Gerald & His Amazing Lunch Box Adventures
I have been working as the leading artist for the Swindon Eastcott community 'Window Wanderland' project for five years. The first year, having to go the extra mile, I made a full on shadow puppet show that entertained wanderers for a whole evening. I can't count how many showings we did that evening but it was great fun. I have since made shadow puppetry a big part of my business.
Open Air Project
A commission for the Richard Jefferies Museum show casing all that was happening there at the time and to give an essence of the Jefferies ethos they still attain to today.
Silhouettes
A little 'how to' video for the community taking part in the 'Window Wanderland' project which we managed during the pandemic.
Fine Art Photography
I have had the good fortune of working creatively with many talented people and had opportunities to exhibit my work. Fine art photography is a huge passion of mine and this is a small collection of some that work.
Everything We Stand For
Being on the arts scene, meeting many interesting people, I do get invites to push my own comfort zones and this is one of them. Gary Nash a wonderful musician asked me to accompany him on a track. This is a video I put together from footage an audience member took, and of course I wanted a keep sake and give Gary something back for the experience so i put this together from it.
The Ridgeway Forge
A commission from a friend who enjoys my photography. John got more than he bargained for with a little promotional film too and I got to try blacksmithing at his wonderful Ridgeway Forge. This film features his promotional photography. I ran the process backwards for the film, it seemed extra beautiful that way.
Christmas at The Richard Jefferies Museum.
My first shadow puppet show features in this film, as well as all the wonderful activities that happened at the festive event.
