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)
