WAR (1:17 mins silent)
I have collected over 300 images from the media of the War in Ukraine since it began earlier this year. Working with David Bickley I have made this video of the images, it is a quick fired run through of the images without sound lasting just over a minute. The images run forwards and backwards so that the viewer cannot see a pattern develop, this sequencing creates flashes of recognisable images like memories.

Ode to Courbet 2009 (1.48 min)
Video made from found footage in 2009 for 'I thought I dreamed of you' exhibited at the West Cork Arts Centre 2009-10 and at Gallery 815, Anderson Hall, UARTS The University of the Arts, Philadelphia, USA, through The Multidisciplinary Fine Arts Program, in collaboration with the Von Hess Residency Program 2010. The video represents a different form of engagement with landscape. Using found video footage, the romantic notion of the desire to be immersed in landscape is turned on its head when faced with the reality of how these young people engage with their surroundings using cars in a sport called 'dough nutting'.
