4.5.24 – 31.5.24
Songs are a new strand of development in my practice. During the residency I’m testing unfinished works in progress in a series of experimental online presentations of a selection of songs with simple animations and integrated lyric texts. The subjects are interconnected across issues of mental health, violent politics, dream states and the socio-economics of place. The songs draw on my childhood experience of hymn singing and pop references. Across the next few weeks I’ll share mixes and remixes of these songs and images.
I am an artist, based in Cardiff working across film, audio, print, animation, performance and text. In my work I explore themes that layer and connect through the personal, social, spiritual and psychological.
Current and recurring modalities, forms and motifs include (my) voice, popular cultural icons, wellness and self-care in a late capitalist / digital age context, and how the ‘individual’ connects with the ‘group’.
