Works in the show:
Throwing Stones at a Mountain (2005) 4' 15"
Filmed in the remote mountain regions of North-West China and Kyrgyzstan, this work ponders the ways in which we come to terms with vastness in the landscape. It considers scale and human activity, when a lone figure is confronted with the awe of history and geography and scale.Travel Truths (2006), 4' 34", Video
This is one of a series of films made in Xinjiang, North West China. The work looks at the markets of the remote Tarim Basin, through the lens of Western cultures' romance for the Silk Road, and the region's resultant new tourism.
Travel Truths sees a blind woman begging in an oasis marketplace. The piece looks at the juxtaposition of cultural value judgements, offsetting her song with quotes from the 'Lonely Planet' guidebook for this region.
Poet Sightings (2003)
2' 33"
Hi8 Transferred to DVD
The Poet, a shy, semi-feral creature, is sighted getting back to nature in the Lake District.
Noise (2004)

Video
'Noise' is an objective definition of sound which is based on a subjective reaction and idealism. The rural and urban spaces in England are kept totally separate in our minds, and the heart of this separation is this word: Noise.
For 'Noise', a performance that took place in the Lake District, North West England, the everyday sounds of a town were played at excessive volume in remote locations. Trains at the platform, sirens, people in pubs, printers, modems dialling, kettles boiling. This performance went some way to questioning on what levels we are affected by our immediate surroundings, while we imagine ourselves somewhere quieter.
