03 Alt Text 03, A yellow leaf appears suspended mid-air, gently swaying as if dancing, held by an unseen spiderweb. Against an out-of-focus backdrop of broken, moss-covered pavement, and a low red-brick wall, topped with a dense green bush, the leaf twists in slow, rhythmic motion. Accompanied by soft, hypnotic electric-guitar music. In collaboration with George Paris (sound), 50-secs video, Broxbourne, 2020.
Sidetrack 01: Ode To Leaf (from selection)
This series began during the pandemic, when I started filming small moments that radiated what I understood as more-than-human beauty and gentleness. Working only with my phone, I composed music with my long-term collaborator George Paris, turning the limitations of our tools, skills, and time into a playful constraint—one that proved unexpectedly generative. Over the years the pieces have grown in complexity, yet I continue to return to these brief, tender studies, indulging in the immediacy and intimacy of short-form making.
