Some projects have progressed in a variety of forms - sculpture, monoprinting, photograms, and recently some short films. These have simply provided a different way of recording events as they unfold. Each of these films have been recorded with a small, cheap digital camera which provides a grainy, pixellated image. In most cases, these images are advantageous for enhancing distortion and chance effects. Still images are editied into the clips with carefully chosen soundtracks from a variety of sources.

Smoochy Distractions (02:09)

Another art school brief. An original sound piece and ambient visuals create a relaxing, abstract experience.

Self Portrait 2009 (04:45)

This was an art school brief for over the 2008/9 winter break. The final edit managed to stay close to the original idea. Although this was a messy and uncomfortable process, the finished result evokes serenity and rhythm as well as an atmosphere of the uncanny.

Platform 11 (06:03)

This is the first experimental film made for its own sake. The music was created first and the visual images were sourced and recorded to accompany it. With a slow, minimalistic start, the music and images progress to a crescendo of intensity.

Lepris (03:51)

The Lepris project had no finished 'artwork'. Instead, the very existence of Lepris served as the art - a human analogue. Lepris had a lifespan, a means to be created, age, decay, and a means to impact on the existence of those who experienced him. This film summarises his existence and eventual explosive demise.

Lepris End (04:23)

Towards the end of this project, Lepris' display table was recycled as a representation of death and rebirth. The table was burned and the ashes used to fertilise a new rose plant.

Self Portrait (04:07)

At the art school, we were given a simple project brief for over the winter break - make a self portrait using any means you like. I took the little camera with me as I walked the West Highland Way. The weather was appalling and I cut the trip short. Ultimately, the film took images of myself in the country and city. It became what it is - complemeted by some beautiful experimental music, courtesy of my brother Chris.

Flower Spray (01:12)

My first short film; one rose and two cans of spray paint.
