I am a video and sound artist living and working in Northampton. Through installation I try and make meaning of memory referring to roles in the family. Since completing my MA Fine Art in 2008 from the University of Northampton, I have been working with local artists to produce creative workshops for young people, and of late, launching 'Osprey Cinema'.
Both Sides Now (2008)
The Lullaby Singer is not the Mother (2006) is a looped video sculpture made from bed sheets and pegs forming a tent, with a back -projection of my brother asleep inside. The tent idea came from childhood memories of him making them as a boy. There is a further piece of footage that is projected above the tent. Carrying on the themes of childhood escapism, I have filmed myself in my mother's wedding dress emulating playing 'dress-up' and singing him a lullaby in a bid to get him to sleep.
